Cowthorpe Oak
- ... that the Cowthorpe Oak, described as England's oldest tree, died in 1950? "the legendary Cowthorpe Oak finally expired in 1950. It was said to be England’s oldest tree, having been planted in early Roman times" (Yorkshire Post)
- ALT1:... that the Cowthorpe Oak in Yorkshire, which died in 1950, is said to have dated from the Roman period? "the legendary Cowthorpe Oak finally expired in 1950. It was said to be England’s oldest tree, having been planted in early Roman times" (Yorkshire Post)
Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 08:57, 6 December 2019 (UTC).
- Reviewing...long enough, new enough, interesting, referenced. Hook in article and followed by inline citation with hook fact. Will complete soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:28, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
...QPQ done, no copyvio issues, not a stub, image ok and out of copyright, both proposed hook and ALT1 pass. Where it says "said to be oldest"...should you say who says so? As always, a pleasure to read your work Template:Ping. Thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Whispyhistory. It is from a Yorkshire Post article but I suspect it is a local tradition/folklore type thing. We can change to "was reputedly planted in the Roman period" or similar, or just go with ALT0. I don't mind. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 13:25, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- em...2nd thought...leave it as it is. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:32, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
