The Environmental Partnership Association is running a "Europe's Best Tree" event in April 2015 - the nominee for the event, from England, is currently being selected though a public online poll brought out by Woodland Trust. The ten nominees of "England's Best Tree" are culturally and historically significant trees like the Shugborough Yew, Staffordshire and Whiteleaved Oak, Herefordshire. The question is, identify the significance of three other trees listed below -
 |
| Located in Lincolnshire, and related to a former member of Parliament of England for Cambridge University |
 |
| Major Oak, Nottinghamshire - related to a legendary folk figure |
 |
| Ankerwycke Yew, Surrey - witnessed a 1215 event, that has inspired the current US Constitution |
[Highlight blank after arrow for the answer]
=> Newton's Apple tree is the first; Major Oak - the tree where Robin Hood and his band of "merry men" were believed to be living; Ankerwycke Yew - the tree that is said to have bore witness to the signing of the Magna Carta.
