One of many dead trees in Gunby Park No criticism intended, quite nice to let them decay naturally. Apart from those killed by disease, I suppose given that many were planted at the same time over a century ago they have simply reached the end of their lives.
Elsewhere in the park a tree had been "saved" by breaking the ivy's stranglehold - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4626554">TF4666 : Breaking the ivy's stranglehold: tree by Little Wood, Gunby</a>.

Moated site of Bratoft Hall Bratoft Hall was a medieval house built by the Markham family who owned the site between 1409 and 1538. The house subsequently passed through marriage to the Massingberds, who in 1698 had Bratoft Hall demolished and moved to a new house at Gunby. The remains include the earthworks of a raised moated platform where the buried remains of the medieval house are located.
