Full description
Debois Landscape Survey Group, 2007, Bishops Court, Devon. Landscape Survey and Management Plan, 8, Plan 2 (Report - non-specific). SDV349911.
The oldest trees recorded in the survey were oaks found along the line of the old parish road which was diverted in 1804. They were once part of the hedgerow lining that road. This together with their size suggests they are in excess of 300 years old. They may have once been part of Clist Wood which was still in existence in the mid 17th century but had been cleared by 1800.
