About Old K
Old Knobbley lives in an area of woodland on Furze Hills, Mistley, Essex, England. It is thought that it is over 400 years old, but it is very difficult to tell. When a tree reaches that kind of age growth slows down considerably, to the point that time seems to stand still.
Old Knobbley was most definitely pollarded in it's youth. It has been ravaged by fire and at one point had a hornets nest amongst it's boughs. It was and remains an excellent tree for those young at heart to climb.
Prior to the mid 1700's the land on which Old Knobbley stands was part of the Earl of Oxfords Estate. During this time the area was Park Land, it is believed that Old Knobbley was a part of the park and is one of 3 or 4 remaining trees of similar age that stretch, in a line, across 2 (or so) miles.
