Copper Beech Tree
This beautiful Copper beech Tree (Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea) is growing in the village of Appleton le Moors in the North Yorkshire National Park, England and it always contrasts well with the pale grey of the old Rectory adjacent to Christ Church. It is a personal favourite of mine
This ancient village is recorded in the Domesday Book and retains its classic mediaeval layout. It is a site of archaeological interest, being a rich source of finds such as flint tools, Roman coins and a mediaeval oven. It is particularly noted for its exceptionally fine 19th century church which has earned the description "the little gem of moorland churches" and is Grade I listed. It was designed by the architect J.L. Pearson in French Gothic style
