Sycamore Tree Destruction

[david small]

Local man.

ex lumberjack.

Harbouring grudges for being kicked off his farm by Jesuit's.

Locals suspect him.

Said he did not do it. Knowledge, familiarity, motive.

who knows?

[Peter Pedant]

Others said it was a trainee who had been laid off ( and therefore had a grudge)

I think the Jesuits ( or Jays) are like most other land owners - if you pay your rent they leave you alone.

[Agric tenancy men will know it  has to be paid on the nail (day) or else they can re-let to someone else, on that day!!!!).

none of this urban - "I'll give you the rent next week yeah?" It is a hard life on the dales!

Yet others said it was a bloke with a grudge against the National Trust

[Tilly2]

It was definitely a bloke with a problem.
