As the the story goes, the Earl was on his way back to the his home (the towers). When he was stopped by what is believe as a witch/gypsy.. Who asked for money. The greedy Earl denied the lady some money and ordered for the hourses to continue. As the Earl went on his journey, the lady screamed the curse "for every branch which falls from the old oak tree, a member of the Earls family will die". One night after a thunder storm. Suddenly and mysteriously a member Earls family died. The Earl then ordered for the oak tree to chined up. (The story goes on for the ride but that's basically it).
So as being "blonde" form work colleagues have told me many different story's about this tree... So I decided i must go and see the tree for myself.
(Oo, there's me😊)
After walking down the muddy track and nearly walking passed the tree...oops!
I saw it..
Being old now the tree doesn't have many branches left.. However the chains do go though the tree.
It was good to go down and finally see it, and now when guests ask I can say I have been.
Anyone who has some spear time, go down and have a noisy..
Just try not to walk passed like I did...
So there's a bit of history for you, hope you enjoyed.
See you again soon bloggers!❤️
