John Walker, you are correct.
Had a lovely lunch in the George & Dragon there in November, and took that pic from the car park.

Interesting about "The Majesty Oak". I'd always thought that the Major Oak¹ was the largest and oldest oak, but it seems that this Dover youngster has taken the former title. I visited the Major Oak back in the 60s or 70s and it is truly impressive.

An hour or so of searching and I've tracked it down. St Mary's Church Speldhurst?

Yes. Hadn't heard of Fredville Park before this.
Happy New Year all, by the way!
Here's a straightforward one.

I've just read that the owner of Fredville Park is happy for visitors to visit the tree, which is one of many very old oaks in the park.
A Spring visit perhaps.

Bark on the branches looks more like an oak.
