Further to the grant provided by Claxton Pits Trust to Claxton PCC towards the purchase of a commemorative tree for Claxton to recognise the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, details of the tree’s location have been uploaded to the Queen’s Green Canopy map (Map – The Queen’s Green Canopy (queensgreencanopy.org)) and our virtual plaque.  

The tree is a specimen Crataegus persimilis ‘Prunifolia’ broad-leaved Cockspur and is approximately 3 metres tall, so a reasonably substantial specimen that is clearly visible. It is planted on the western boundary of the churchyard.  We plan to have the tree dedicated by our Rector Nick Garrard as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations on 2 June.
