The Conduit Court

The Conduit Court lies as the centre of Skipton Castle. The name is derived from the fact that spring water supply to the castle terminated here. The Yew in the centre of the court was planted in 1659 by Lady Anne Clifford.

    I wonder if Lady Clifford envisioned how huge her tree would be in 300 + years. And that it would still be there, and her home, for us to visit. I can’t even think about where my own family will be in 300 years.

    There’s beauty in such symmetry.
