This is a heartbreaking BBC story with many photographs and a full text about the death of a large "Sycamore" tree, commonly referred to as Hadrian's Wall Tree, Northumberland, U.K.

The  tree, I think you will agree, was a dramatic perfectly situated landmark which was planted sometime in the late 1800's. It was cut down by a man in his sixties who was arrested. This link shows the tree in winter while the BBC story shows it in summer.
