I'm still googling away also  Undecided

Do you know the road name?  It might help with narrowing down the google search.

Hi Sylvia

Many thanks for the link, very interesting. It would be interesting to find out if there are any other "Shoe Trees" in this country.

Wheeldon I have no idea what the road is called in Buxton. The tree is about a 200 yards from the cemetery. It's up the hill on the left heading toward the cemetery.
