Old oak tree transformed into sculpture

Available for over a year

The royal oak tree outside a pub has been transformed from a dead tree to a spectacular sculpture. Owners of the Royal Oak pub in Gretton were facing the prospect of cutting down an old oak tree that has been standing outside for nearly 300 years. But rather than being left with a big tree stump, they got an artist in to create a sculpture instead. The tree now has an amazing figure of Charles II carved into the tree. BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Dan Ayers has been to see the new sculpture.
