The largest of the two trees. The combined canopy of the 2 trees is 750sq.m. Mr. Isaac Baigent was a gardener at Kew Gardens, Surrey, England. He emigrated to join his brother Edward in Wakefield in 1853. He brought acorns from Kew with him. These were planted in the spring of 1853, on Edward Baigent's property (Section no.92). Two of these original trees were later transplanted to Woodstock Road in 1860 probably by Samuel Baigent son of Edward. These oaks feature in many of the Baigent family's photographic records. These three Wakefield oaks (one in the nearby Domain) are recorded in the Royal Horticultural Society UK. 'Kewensis'. Flook 1992
