When I first visited this great oak >20 years ago, which stands very much alone in the Hampton Court Home Park, it still had one living branch (much like the Sir Philip Sidney Oak at Penshurst Place, now also dead). That branch 'gave up' a few years later. The Royal Parks have planted two young oaks as replacements within the wooden fencing.
