Commemorative Plaque - Boscobel House
This plaque stands beneath SJ8308 : Grandson of Royal Oak - The Bishop was however mistaken as the tree from which the acorn for this tree came was already the son of the original Royal Oak (see SJ8308 : The Royal Oak for details)
A transcription of the inscription (changed from all capitals) reads:
This tree, a seedling from The Royal Oak in the adjacent field was planted by Augustus Bishop of Lichfield as a memorial of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
*****
The parent tree by sheltering King Charles II preserved the royal line from extinction.
*****
The daughter tree commemorates the unprecedentedly long reign (about 200 years later) of his illustrious successor.
