Who owns it? Because, surely only whoever owns it can claim against it, and can they prove they own it? |

The landowner, and therefore the owner of the tree, is the National Trust. Expect them to include costs borne by any local tenant of theirs as part of the overall damage cost.

Do you think it is ok these guys went and cut down the tree? If not do you think playing down as just a tree serves any good? afterall knocking down a castle must be ok too because it is just stone or filling in a lake because it is just water |

The reactions are disproportionate to the act. Nothing special about a tree at the bottom of a valley. Still nowhere near a valuation of over £600,000. Compare that with £10,000 of damage to a Van Gogh painting. Nobody would have an overnight hotel stay just to get a selfie with it. |

Reality check
To build the Royal Navy's ships, particularly during the late 1700s and early 1800s, an estimated 1.2 million oak trees were felled. This was primarily for constructing ships of the line, with a large ship like HMS Victory needing around 6,000 trees. |

Punishments for disrupting the forest's natural state varied significantly, with fines being common for minor infractions and more severe punishments, such as blinding or cutting off limbs, for those who disturbed deer or boar |
