Old Knobbley, the Oak That Hid the Hunted

Old Knobbley is one of England’s oldest oak trees, standing quietly in Mistley, Essex, just beyond the Suffolk border.
This video explores its eight-hundred-year history, its survival through fire, lightning, and war, and the local folklore linking it to Matthew Hopkins and the witch trials of the seventeenth century.
A story of landscape, memory, and the things that choose to endure.
