Or in this case chopped. The stump of a once mighty tree that clung tenaciously to the banks of Whateley Lane for well over a hundred years I'd think. No doubt someone thought that a massive tree leaning across a public road at an angle of 45° could be a bit dangerous. A similar fate has befallen other trees along this lane - a pity as they were rather magical. The lane is still very attractive though and the Image] remain in many places.
