A group of four beeches. A 

 line stretclied round the 

 group measures 88 ft. 



'There are many large 

 beeches growing here, and 

 girthing from 10 ft. to 

 15 ft. 6 in. at 5 ft. from 

 ground. 



^Divides at 10 ft. into two 

 ' heavy limbs.which are tied 



1 



together by an iiou rod. 



^These appear the finest 

 specimens of beech at 

 Tynniiighame, and there 

 are thousands besides 

 these, and about same 

 dimensions. Tlie beech 

 avenues here, and tlio 

 rides in Binning Wood 

 are very flue examples of 

 fonnal style of i)hiiiting, so 

 gentnil during the early 

 part of last century.
