Vote for the Crowhurst Yew - this incredible ancient tree at St George's Church, Crowhurst is nominated for The @woodlandtrust's "Tree of the Year." Said to be 4,000 years old, it survived direct cannon fire in the English Civil War and in the 1800s the hollowed centre was used as a meeting room - you can still see the door! During @thechurchofengland celebration of Creationtide, Revd Sue Bosley shares how caring for the tree is part of our Christian call to steward God's Creation, and how pleased she is that scientists are studying the tree to learn more about conservation for the future. #BritishNature #UKNature #WoodlandTrust
