Grimston's Oak, Epping Forest
This "monarch of the Forest" stands in a clearing at the junction of several rides between Fairmead Bottom and Connaught Water.
Alternate names for this Quercus robur are Cuckoo Oak (it is near Cuckoo Pits) Bedford’s Oak and Grimston's Oak. The later is the one most frequently used. J. T. Bedford was involved in the battle to save Epping Forest from destruction in the 1870s. Robert Grimston was a 19th Century cricketer who died in 1884.
The tree is estimated to be about 350 years old.
Compare to TQ4095 : Grimstons Oak, Epping Forest, March 2014 which shows the structure of the tree.
