Photos of Seven Oaks?
« on: Friday 01 April 11 07:51 BST (UK) »
Is there anyone that lives or works near Seven Oaks that can send some photos by email? I am particularly interested in the Oak Cluster (Not 7 anymore from what i understand), the school and anything else relating to William of Seven Oaks.

Thanks for your replies.

I did that today and got some real good color photos of the churches especially!  ;D I can't find any pictures of the oak cluster anywhere. I have discovered that thanks to time, vandalism and the storm of the late 80's that the original ones are all gone but two and that there are now 9 of different ages, but I can't find a picture of them (new or old) anywhere! This is the picture that I really want.
I also can't find a picture of St Thomas of Canterbury in Sevenoaks. I found lots of pictures of St Thomas of Canterbury Churches, but not the one in Sevenoaks.
The more I don't find what I want, the more I think about hopping the big pond and flying into London myself!! Maybe one day....

St. Thomas of Canterbury church is on Google Images. It is not a grand church so don't look for such.

If you also Google "Sevenoaks Oaks" you will see several pictures of them including one uprooted by the 1967 storm. The first picture shows all 7 planted in 1902 to celebrate the coronation of Edward VII.

There have been several replantings and some of another 7 still stand in Knole Park.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
