This well-known tree is now reduced to a mere 

 shell, hollow from top to bottom. The large limb 

 represented in drawings as broken off and lying 

 beside it has now disappeared, leaving a large ir- 

 regular opening 6 feet by 9 feet on the east side. 

 The bark on the main trunk is gone, but several 

 branches on the north-west have the bark entire, 

 and still produce leaves and acorns. Loudon 

 makes the girth, at three feet from the ground 

 36 feet. 



A well balanced tree, ninety-one years old. A 

 cast-iron tablet near the tree says, ''The acorn 

 was sown at Foxley in 1773, and the sapling 

 planted by John Matthews, Esq., in 1788. The 

 tree measured 5 feet 6 inches in circumference in 

 1813." It now contains 139 feet of timber.
