The tree is linked to the prolific novelist and poet Thomas Hardy who stacked gravestones at its base.
A landmark tree in central London famous for its link to the prolific British writer Thomas Hardy has fallen.
Wessex Museum's Thomas Hardy exhibition curator Harriet Still told BBC Radio London the story behind the tree "brought out Hardy's dark sense of humour". Ms Still said Hardy worked as a young architect in the "prestigious" office of Arthur Blomfield, in Covent Garden.The firm got the commission from the Bishop of London to disinter a large number of graves from Old St Pancras cemetery.
"Sadly, the Hardy Tree was infected with a fungus in 2014 and since then we've been taking steps to manage its final few years," it added.
