The Yeldham Oak
The Yeldham Oak, Great Yeldham, Essex. According to a plaque on the tree, its history is obscure but it is shown on a map dated 1777. Records show the tree was alive after 1860 and attained a girth of nearly 30 Ft and a height of over 80 Ft and reputed to be over 300 years old. The remains of the trunk was encased in concrete in 1949.

I don't quite understand the assertion on the plaque saying the tree was "alive after 1860" as I am sure I remember as a youngster seeing the last few green twigs growing out of the concrete casing. Now the only leaves belong to a Image
