Strawberry Fields?  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Fields_Forever#Promotional_film


That's it MartinR. The stump has been confirmed by one ex-head groundsman; although the current one claims it was an adjacent tree that was fully lost in the storms of 89. There is another fenced off tree that some think is the tree in question; but  is in the wrong location.  Like all good stories it needs a conspiracy and this one is that the 'no trace remains' tree is a story concocted by Knole Park to deter fans from taking a bit of the stump as a trophy.  ;D

Remains of 'King Beech' at Knole Park ?


Knole Park it is. Not the right tree stump though. (Although this one is disputed!) Looking at more modern times art wise.

Not Mote Park. A little further west.


And its this specific location that has the connection to the arts. Although the foreground view was somewhat changed by the great storms of 1989

It's not the aftermath of the restoration of historic views in Mote Park is it?

Is this in Bifrons Park?


No, but it is a Park and the significance is art related.

Think this one may go relatively quickly; although some may be stumped. :) So where is it; and  what is it's significance. (arguably).

You have it Shoot999
From what I can find out this was originally a row of fishermen's cottages.


And yes, Barnes Wallis looks out to sea over the roof of this cottage,


Over to you

The statue of a notable person from WW2 looks over the roof of this building from behind.   The person and the building are not related.
