This ancient oak tree lies to the south of Market Drayton. Lots of old trees in Shropshire, I know, but this one is near Salisbury Hill where the Earl of Salisbury (a Yorkist) defated a Lancastrian force twice the size in 1459. I'm no expert on tree age, but I suspect this one's mother was around then if not the tree itself.The copyright on the post is held by Katy Willis (Text) and James Shaw (Photograph).
