An Old Man Of The Woods

Sunday 22nd April 2012

Some photographs of a mighty beech tree in the woodland
adjacent the Ox Drove, south of Wylye, Wiltshire.

Initials “C E H” and “R A H” and the date “74” carved on the tree.

More carving on the trunk of the tree,
including the name “Alan Pitcairn”.

The “Pitcairn” name again, with the year “1966”.

Damage where a limb of the tree
must have broke away years ago.

These photographs were taken by Danny Howell
on the afternoon of Sunday 22nd April 2012.

The roots on the south-east side of the tree.
