I particularly like the image above of the one in Mile End Place.

I sincerely hope that this wasn’t chopped down when they developed the site.

His children played on it in the late 1800’s. The tree was considered by Morris to be quite ancient even then. Kelmscott Manor was built in 1570, the same birth-year of East London’s Church Bell Foundry!
