I think this is the same tree as Steven Falk is referring to in his 'The Veteran Trees of Warwickshire' (2011): "The vast majority of local ‘Crispa’ specimens found in Leamington Spa or Coventry have an obvious Victorian origin, though a rather larger one found at the Capability Brown designed grounds of Compton Verney (4.22m/2008) may well date from the late 18th century, though it does not seem large enough to be a Brownian specimen."
