...the unwedgeable and gnarled oak
Measure For Measure
Handmade from English oak grown in Warwickshire and sourced from responsible forestry practices.
English oak has grown for hundreds of years in the Warwickshire countryside, and the trees are still a familiar and revered sight today, lining hedgerows, standing proud in fields or sitting majestically in small woodlands.
The oak was the principal tree of The Forest of Arden which once surrounded the town of Stratford upon Avon, and is the setting for Shakespeare's As You Like It. This ancient woodland which stretched across the breadth of Warwickshire was said to be so dense that a squirrel could jump from tree to tree across the whole county.
Our fridge magnets, hand-crafted from English Oak, local to Warwickshire, feature a range of quotes or designs and the play title along the side. Designs include:
