[edit] Contradiction

The description of the discovery contradicts http://www.showcaves.com/english/gb/showcaves/CheddarOldham.html which says "Named after Mr George Cox, this cave was discovered during a quarrying operation in 1837. Having put his pick through a small hole Mr Cox enlarged it, and entered the cave, which he subsequently opened to the public."
