Reason for nomination:

It is a survivor from the days when this area was part of the Hunting Forest. Now venerable and ivy covered, surrounded by younger trees, it stands guard over the living and the dead." Buckhurst Hill Residents' Society

Remarks & Tree condition:

• Enter St. John's Churchyard via the Kissing Gate from Church Road, this veteran Oak is immediately on the righthand side of the path.
