The small patch of grass at the junction of a number of roads at the heart of the village is home to a large sycamore tree. It has clearly been here many years and seen plenty of parishioners in its time but has become unhealthy. Work is due to start on removing a lot of diseased branches, much to the disappointment of the locals; some want it to be saved, others feel it may be time to plant a new sapling for future inhabitants.
