MEMORIAL LIME TREES

Up at post 3 on the Filnore Woods walk there is a plaque saying why these three memorial limes were planted in 2002: to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee, the life of the Queen Mother, who died in that year, and the 750th anniversary of Thornbury's Town Charter.

In the photograph there look to be only two lime trees but tree number three, which looks dead in the photo, always leafs up later than the other two.  They were all bought as small-leaved limes from the same nursery so it remains a mystery.
