was judgement i said it would fit down there, gareth confirmed it would with the trusty stick test it was felled because they are building a extention from the house and these trees are going to be used to make the timber for the extention and 3 table tops in the making from the bottom slices they were planted by a local estate for timber but then land got sold and they were never felled so least they are being used for what they were planted for
