St Pancras Old Church Hardy Tree Fallen


Before becoming a novelist and poet, Thomas Hardy studied architecture. During the 1860s he was tasked with supervising the moving of headstones in the churchyard of Old St. Pancras church (London) to make way for the Midland Railway line. The headstones were moved to this location around an ash tree which has now grown amongst the stones.

On December 27th 2022 the tree fell over after being previously weakened in a storm.
