More about this scene
These fine trees still stand beside a lane near Holford's church. Native to this country, beeches were planted for shelter, ornament and, of course, their timber. Its close grain made it eminently suitable for a variety of turned objects, and its pliability was much exploited in the manufacture of chairs.
