Midland Oak
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MID : Midland Oak
The Midland Oak is an oak tree located on the boundary between Lillington and Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. A plaque placed nearby makes the claim that the tree marks the very centre of England, though a number of other locations in the Midlands make the same claim. The original tree survived for centuries before dying in the mid-20th Century, when it was replaced with a tree grown from one of the acorns of the original. This replacement was itself replaced by another tree, again from an acorn found nearby in the 1990s.
