With a massive girth of 7.60m this mighty tree is still able to dwarf the Hertfordshire Groundwork team. The oak was recorded as measuring 5.80m in 1830 by Strutt in Sylva Britannica.
It is the largest maiden, or clear-stemmed oak, in the country and is believed to have been planted by Queen Elizabeth I. Fittingly for a royal tree, it has a number of famous royal children and grandchildren; the Prince Consort Oak, planted by Prince Albert in 1861 near Speech House in the Forest of Dean, was grown from an acorn from this tree, and in 1957 Queen Elizabeth II planted an oak in the Forest of Dean grown from an acorn of the Prince's oak. The spade she used is now displayed on the wall of the Speech House.

It also drew the admiration of Sir Winston Churchill who, on one of his visits to Panshanger, planted an oak sapling grown from an acorn from this tree. Churchill's tree can still be found in the grounds.
Over the centuries, its size and form have frequently earned it attention. In 1789, it was described by the natural historian Gilbert White as "the finest and most stately oak in the south-east of England" and was the focus of a drawing by the artist Thomas Medland in 1841.
Charles Uzzell Edwards a.k.a. PURE EVIL grew up in South Wales and was by his own account the only new romantic in the village. It was this love of urban street style that led him to do fashion degree in London, where he earned a bit of a reputation as a troublemaker.
He moved to San Francisco after college and started designing for streetwear brand Anarchic Adjustment. AA was deeply involved in the rave scene and after discovering the Roland 606 he started working with Pete Namlook / Fax records in Frankfurt and released solo and collaborative music projects through the label as Octopus and as Create / A New Consciousness with Namlook.
In 2007 Charles opened Pure Evil Gallery, his first gallery in Shoreditch on Leonard Street. The galleries have been an incubator for up and coming street artists from around the world as well as being the studio for Charles' own PURE EVIL artwork. The success of his Nightmare series of dripping celebrity portraits has taken him around the world.
