An English oak timber, one of several items ‘displayed’ in one of the East Wing’s fireplaces. It was part of the original School building of 1541, removed during a renovation project in 1975. With traces of sapwood, it would appear to have been cut from a branch and not from a main trunk. Having forty annular rings, it may have been from an established tree, growing at the time Henry VIII came to the throne.
