"Gathered from an aged tree in the garden at Shandy Hall . . . 26 July 1845" Amazing relic from the sweet chestnut killed by lightning in 1911, but still here. Pressed by Rev. William Nichols in a copy of Sterne's works 1783. Thanks Edward Bayntun-Coward @YorksArboretum #trees The tree is now covered by a Clematis montana.
