This is typical of one of the american white oaks, probably borealis, grown in too acid an environment. The diamond marks on the bark are from birds repeatedly pecking for insects.

 

You may well find this is an abandoned garden from an old military installation and its progeny may not be far away.

 

Search that tussock grass for drainage ditches marking out the plots where Nissen huts stood and other garden plants.

I was thinking red oak myself but the poplar like bark made me wonder. The tree itself is in the middle of Horsell common.

Horsell Common - You are not far from me then. I'm in West End.

Some of your previous posts have been about timber moving.
