Measuring the Trees Adam and Eve with School for blind and Dovecote

This video shows groups from the School for the Blind and Dovecote during our sensory tour measuring the Yew trees in the courtyard of Speke Hall with people. The idea was that the number of people would tell us how old the tree was, it also gave us an opportunity to feel the trunk of the tree. Mark commented it was like giving your aunties a hug!
