The plaque that sits below the oak tree has been lovingly repaired and replaced by Ben. The plaque reads; ‘Parish council oak planted in 1894 to commemorate the act which created parish councils‘.
As the tree has been standing for about 130 years, it has grown to be a prominent feature within the village. However, we need to look after it correctly: if it becomes overgrown it may cause harm to the passing vehicles and pedestrians. The Parish Council will be looking at hiring an arborist to conduct a report on this tree so that it can be managed appropriately.
With the correct care, we can ensure that this impressive tree will stand for hundreds of years to come.
