Kett's Oak, Historical oak tree in Wymondham, England.
The ancient English oak tree stands alongside the B1172 road between Wymondham and Hethersett, supported by wooden frames and metal bands.
In 1549, Robert Kett and his followers gathered at this oak tree before launching their rebellion against the enclosure of common lands.
The tree received recognition as one of the 50 Great British Trees, marking its status in England's natural and social heritage.
Visitors can locate the oak tree by following the B1172 road, where a commemorative plaque installed in 2006 provides historical information.
Norfolk County Council implemented an innovative biochar treatment in 2020 to enhance the soil quality and preserve this 500-year-old tree.
