The oldest tree in Sherwood
IF YOUR FROM THE USA YOU MAY LIKE TO KNOW THIS
This tree is called the major oak ,
Its said to be the oldest Tree,in sherwood Forest,
As a boy I played in and on it many times
Also did the many of the Pilgrim Fathers I would think!
For it was old even then,
The USA Started Here
Myth or Legend ,how!! by Edwin Woodland
Scrooby,a small and quite English village in Sherwood foreast Nottinghamshire.
Who would have thought it was once a hot bed of revolt?"
I for one would, "Just for a second think your standing in the main street of Scrooby, The year is 1600.AD , its july and warm your outside local inn
having a drink, you hit a button on your time switch,
And again for a second time you go back in time some years,
To say a warm july in a year about 1160 AD 1160
Your still sanding on the same spot ,you still have your drink,
but now you could well,have found your self in that very same
Scrooby, having a drink and a chat ,To one Robin Hood,
Or maybe some of is Anglo-Saxon woodsmen friends that lived in scrooby,
For yes you have it now! Scrooby that small and quite English village is in Sherwood forest ,So many of the separatists that went on the mayflower,
where of the same English stock as Robin and is men,
It was Men from Scrooby initiated the emigration of the
'Pilgrim Fathers' to America in 1620 on board the Mayflower.
now I for one now fully understand how the ideas of Freedom and Liberty,
came in to being,
As a man from sherwood, my self, it gives me a warm feeling as I wright this,
I think the world need to know this as, Some one said who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it
As for the legend of robin hood it seems to be be ture,
But maybe there where many robin hoods in sherwood,in the past
For the Anglo-Saxons in that area of England ,Where often forced to become bands of outlaws. for there own freedom and liberty,
As the Normans took all , Even the right to hunt in the woods for food,.
So it is no coincidence that many of these ideas of Freedom and Liberty,
That first took root here in England and can be traced directly back to those Anglo-Saxons whos (descendants)Centuries later with dauntless spirit and sense of adventure ,Saled on the mayflower the 'Pilgrim Fathers'.
Years later there offspring went on to start the usa,
Sherwood forest back then, was a part of nottinghamshire and South yourshire
