A composite work of 9 individual framed drawings which form an image of the famous oak tree near Hethersett, Norfolk. Returning to live in Norfolk in 2020, he rediscovered his love of drawing and painting to produce a series of works revolving around trees as a central subject. He is currently an associate member of the Arborealist group of artists and has exhibited widely with the group in locations throughout the UK and also in France. He is working towards three exhibitions with the group later in 2024.
Kett’s Oak is one of 50 Great British Trees selected by The Tree Council in 2002 to spotlight trees in Great Britain in honour of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee.
Kett’s Oak is named after Robert and William Kett of Wymondham, who assembled their men at this point in 1549, before marching on Norwich. Their grievances were mainly to do with enclosing the common lands and the rising cost of living. Various enclosure hedges were ‘thrown down’ by their respective followers, and the revolt was underway. The rebellion failed and several rebels including Robert and William Kett were hanged. Nine of the rebels were hanged at Kett's Oak. (source Wikipedia)
