One of the views we treasure in the village. The legend about the tree, told to the writer by the late Miss Lucy Bubb, is that it will not die in a year when a baby is born in Mickleton. Dutch Elm disease is threatening to break this tradition. The tree has been hollow for at least 80 years – the late Mr Joseph Webb said that he played in it on his way home from school at the Bank House – that would be about 75 years ago.
