‘I think that I shall never see / A poem lovely as a tree’ wrote American poet Alfred Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918) in 1914, the year the Great War began. He was killed by a sniper at the Second Battle of the Marne four years later. The Bowthorpe Oak, at Bowthorpe Park Farm near Manthorpe in Lincolnshire, is thought to be over 1000 years old, making it a contemporary of King Ethelred the Unready and King Cnut (Canute), and the oldest oak tree in England.
