5,400 oak trees were used in the construction of Nelson's flagship HMS Victory.
Oak trees were used in the building of our great Castles, Cathedrals and Churches and our own Essex Barns.
The bark was used for tanning leather and acorns were fed to pigs to fatten them.
Great oaks from tiny acorns grow. The oak, and ultimately the acorn, help make Britain Great.
