Commemorative Plaque - Boscobel House

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Commemorative Plaque - Boscobel House. This plaque stands beneath 1289812 - The Bishop was however mistaken as the tree from which the acorn for this tree came was already the son of the original Royal Oak (see 1289763 for details)

A transcription of the inscription (changed from all capitals) reads:

This tree, a seedling from The Royal Oak in the adjacent field was planted by Augustus Bishop of Lichfield as a memorial of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoira.

The parent tree by sheltering King Charles II preserved the royal line from extinction.

The daughter tree commemorates the unprecedentedly long reign (about 200 years later) of his illustrious successor.
