Willmington churchyard East Sussex

Wow, great! I always feel a bit small - and youngish - seeing these ancient trees....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's an old one. Any date, Dave?

 

[Dave Farnes]

The experts who looked at it a few years ago dated it at 1600 years old. Strange to think England was still part of the Roman Empire when it took root.

There is one in Fortingall in Scotland rumoured to be betwenn 2,000 and 3,000 years old ..... it's amazing to look at

 

[Douglas McMann]

Would be amazing to know what it's witnessed...incredible...

Lovely stuff Dave. And I can see a screaming mouth!

Less cheese before bed I think in future!

Awesome, considering age , beauty and majestic stature.
