| 説明 | According to legend it was amongst the young oaks of Staverton Park that St Edmund was murdered by the Danes, tied naked to one of the trees and made a target for their arrows. It was also here that the last sighting of a wolf was recorded in 1150. Later it was owned by the monks of nearby Butley Priory. In 1528 Mary, sister of Henry VIII and her husband Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk hunted and picnicked under the trees. The holly trees are reputedly the largest in the UK. The oaks were pollarded until the nineteenth century and are probably well over 500 years old. It is a Special Area of Conservation. Most people drive by this magical place without even knowing it is there. |
