It weighs an estimated 23 tons, has a girth of 33 feet , a canopy of 92 feet , and is about 800–1000 years old. In 2014, it was voted 'England's Tree of the Year' by a public poll by the Woodland Trust, receiving 18% of the votes. Its name originates from Major Hayman Rooke's description of it in 1790.
