The tree leaflet for Hampton Court Castle and Garden provides the following information:

The oldest Cedar, growing on the slopes of Mount Lebanon, is approximately 16mts in girth and estimated to be 5.500 years old. By comparison, the first Cedar to be planted in this country, in 1647, is now 10mts in girth and our largest a mere 8mts.

Our Cedars were given pet names by one of the castle’s previous inhabitants, Johnny Arkwright (1833-1905), when he was convalescing as a child and was confined to the Orangery. The largest of the Cedars was christened Julius. We think that Julius is the tree with the door into the trunk.

Sometimes when I upload photographs to my computer I see things that I did not notice when taking the photographs. This sequence of photos is one of those occasions…

I managed to capture a self portrait of myself in the first photograph and in the third photograph the man at the centre of the carving seems to be casting out a Demon of some kind (I didn’t notice either when I was taking the photos).
