Inscription M8 Index Plan < Prev. Next >

The northernmost of a pair of similar benches created from single logs, beside a mature oak tree at the top of Horspath Common, with a brass inscription panel inset on the backrest:

I would like a tree,
an old English species like an oak,
in a public space if that can be managed,
somewhere beautiful.
