This oak, known as the Domesday Oak, with a girth of 9.19 m has to be recorded as ancient, not veteran.
26/03/2020 - tree reported as damaged, most likely storm damage. Substantial part of the stem remains, but a large section has broken off.
Little of the original tree now remains. The stump and remaining tree is now surrounded by brambles and other vegetation.
