Any idea what caused this David?

 

The lean & bend?

 

would think that the tree has had an episode of cellulose reduction on the compression due to decay at some point, then adaptive growth has recompensed and is keeping the tree dynamic and phototropic.

 

The bark - stressess across the surface due to compression perhaps.

Not really noted this on Beech before.
