 * ALT1:... that the Buttington Oak may have been planted to commemorate a 9th-century battle and been used to make weapons? "he said it would have been planted by local people to mark the site of the Battle of Buttington" "This would have been a working tree over the years, providing the local community with wood for weapons"

 * Symbol possible vote.svg By my count article is just over 1600 characters with spaces so is long enough. Moved to mainspace on the 20th so it's also new enough. NPOV and no obvious copyvio. I added a comma to the primary hook to close out the paranthetical expression. Source is true and correct and inline cited. Hook is A+ interesting (actually the entire article is). No image.
