Description: | The Upper High Street at its junction with Staple Gardens. Entrance to Trafalgar Street off to the right.
The statue was installed on the site of the holm oak which was felled 2nd October 1980.
The building to the right with the partial flint walls stands on the site of the Star Inn, which became the Talbot Arms by 1929. It was built in 1885 for Mr G H Pointer, to a design by Thomas Stopher, for £2,448. During excavations for the cellars of the new building, several skeletons in the squatting position were found, believed to date from the Iron Age or Saxon period.
