Wimpole History Festival: Edward Parker - Ancient Trees of the National Trust

Edward Parker examines their fascinating history, cultural associations and ecological importance. Beginning with what is considered to be the oldest tree on the National Trust Estate, the Ankerwycke Yew (under which the Magna Carta was is believed to have been sealed), and concluding with Newton’s apple tree at Woolsthorpe Manor, Parker takes us on a whistlestop tour of many of our ancient trees.

 

After this event, grab your boots and join in an ancient tree walk led by the author.

 

Meet in the turning circle at 3.30pm.
