He added that the investigation is still in its very early stages and appealed to the public to come forward with information that could assist the investigation. “Any piece of information – no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to you – can be extremely important to our investigation,” Waring said.
The tree grew in a natural depression near Hexham and was immortalized in the 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” starring Kevin Costner.
In 2016, it was recognized as the Tree of the Year in the competition organized by the organization “Woodland Trust”.
