Bishops' Tree, Fulham Palace
This cedar of lebanon tree trunk has been carved by Andrew Frost, with figures of bishops and some of their accoutrements carved in cedar. On top is a sculpture of Bishop Porteus (Bishop of London from 1787-1809). He was a campaigner for the abolition of the slave trade and left his collection of books to create the library at which he is staring. The tree has been carved in memory of Peter Moorhouse (1957-2003), a local resident.

The Bishops' Tree at Fulham Palace
Fulham Palace is of medieval origin. It was the country home of the Bishops of London from at least the 11th century until 1975, when it was vacated. The Palace is now managed jointly by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and the Fulham Palace Trust, though it is still owned by the Church of England. It is freely accessible.
The Bishops’ Tree highlights who made the most significant contribution to the gardens at Fulham Palace. It is formed from a Cedar of Lebanon felled in 2006 due to decay. The sculptures were carved by Andrew Ford in 2007. At the top of the tree is Bishop Porteus (1731 – 1809). He followed the fashion for the picturesque in the grounds of the Palace where he made a rustic grotto and planted a grove of trees called “The Nun’s walk”.
Behind and just visible is the carving of Bishop Compton - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3426704

Carving of Bishop Compton at Fulham Palace

The Palace is now managed jointly by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and the Fulham Palace Trust, though it is still owned by the Church of England. It is freely accessible.
This oak bench shows Bishop Compton (1632 – 1713) who was a keen plant collector. He imported plants from all over the known world and the grounds became famous. Visitors such as John Evelyn came to see the exotic plants and trees. Like the nearby Bishops' Tree it was carved by Andrew Ford in 2007.
