Stanhope Tree
Stanhope Tree
A preserved Sigillaria tree from the mid Carboniferous coal swamps. Instead of joining its coal friends it rotted away but was covered in sand which left a cast. LinkExternal link

Preserved at a sand quarry it was brought here and erected in front of the church. The bark and root impressions are very good.
