Summary
| Description |
English: A tiny nature reserve This is the Hethel Old Thorn. An information board placed beside it informs that "This unique nature reserve was given to the Norfolk Naturalists Trust in 1960 by the late Mr. F.W. Myhill. It consists of a single hawthorn and in total covers only 0.025 hectares. Local tradition maintains that the thorn was a meeting place for peasants during the revolt against King John and this means that it is at least 700 years old. The thorn has always been famous for its size. When Grigor examined it in 1841 he found the trunk measured a staggering 12 ft 1 inch in circumference with the branches spreading over 31 yards. This is beautifully covered in Ninham's etching done at around the same time ... Since Ninham's etching the thorn has split into separate but living portions. Management is aimed at keeping the oak props and cattle fence in good order." |
