June 15 2008:
Farewell to a Weeping Beech

view map

St John’s, Woking

This Weeping Beech has existed in this churchyard for about 200 years ~ in fact it was there before the church. But last week it eventually cracked after some bad weather and this beautiful old tree will be taken out very soon as its precarious state presents a danger.

Well, I think it should be allowed to go gracefully. After all, it was there first. :)

What a shame that it has to be felled.

A sad story, enough to make you weep.
