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>.
