8. Oak, EneiisH (Quercus pedunculata). 
A remarkably handsome park tree, growing on the side of a bank 
sloping to the north, towards the coach road leading to the west 
lodge. This grand specimen of an oak has one of the finest boles 
of any tree in the park, and growing as it does in a very prominent 
position, it shows itself off to great advantage. It is a very healthy- 
looking tree, and is adding to its girth yearly. The bole is 46 feet 
high, as straight as a gun-barrel, and it carries a nice well-balanced 
top of 87 feet 6 inches in diameter. At 3 feet up, it girths 
21 feet 94 inches. The bole alone contains 836 cubic feet, and 
the whole tree 933 feet of timber. £100 was offered for this tree 
during the Crimean War. 
9. OaK, ENGLISH (Quercus pedunculata). 
This is another good tree, growing 50 yards from No. 8. It is 
of quite a different type, having some very large limbs, growing out 
from near the base. At 33 feet up it divides into two, and 
then goes straight away to the height of 94 feet. It girths 
19 feet 10 inches at 3 feet up, and contains 655 cubic feet of 
timber. 
10. Oax, Eneisu (Quercus pedunculata). 
This tree, which stands in a line with No. 9, and 60 yards from 
it, is a beautiful specimen of a park tree. It has a healthy and 
vigorous-growing appearance, and will yet add a lot of girth to its 
already massive trunk. It has a grand, far-reaching, well-balanced 
top of 104 feet in diameter ; a bole of 33 feet in height. At 3 feet 
from the base it girths 22 feet, and contains 582 cubit feet of 
timber. 
11. Oak, Eneisn (Quercus pedunculata), 
Another fine tree, standing 100 yards up the slope from the west 
lodge, and 60 yards from No. 10. It hasa bole 30 feet 6 inches
