The parish, church of Kcmpsey, Worcestershire, contains a chestnut tree which grows from the tomb of Sir Edward Wilde. The school children of the village used to sit in the chancel. It is said that on one occasion the teacher found a pupil eating a chestnut, and that he snatched it away nnd threw it behind the tomb, where it took root and flourished.
