The abbey was abandoned in 1539, the result of King Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries. This break with Rome (1534) occurred after the Pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The tree is probably 100-200 years old. Ginkgos were first introduced to Britain (from Asia) in the mid 18th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
