ceremonially planted nearby: In 1897, a tree was planted on the western edge of the garden of Boscobel House by Augustus Legge, then bishop of Lichfield, to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. A further tree was planted ceremonially in 1951 near the site of the original Royal Oak by the Orlando Bridgeman, 5th Earl of Bradford, who was the owner of Boscobel House at the time, to mark the tercentenary of Charles II's escape. Another oak sapling grown from one of the Son's acorns was planted in 2001 by Prince Charles. Gallery Opening Boscobel House and its grounds are generally open from Wednesday to Sunday each week in the summer (April to October).
