Source of earliest mention: Bob Tomlinson/Matthew Chambers/ATI

Notes:

All 3 are around 3m. I’ve looked into the history (Elizabeth Parker kept a diary and while interesting with regard to local history, mentions little of planting dates). Historically the Parker family held Bowbearer of Bowland though I think they’re more ornamental, on the path he would have taken to the local! The trees are overgrown by voracious planting of non-native fast growing trees used to impress, and the dreaded rhododendron but I think they’re too close together (about 5m) and crowns’ branches intertwine a lot.
