Waterloo Elm

The Waterloo Elm was located just south west of the intersection of the sunken lane and the Genappe–Brussels main road.

In 1824 for a commission by Scott, Joseph Angell, a London silversmith, incorporated the wood into a silver quaich.

Scott's "Waterloo Tree Quaich" was stolen along with other items from Abbotsford House in 1994.

[5] The dead tree was purchased by John George Children, a Librarian in the British Museum and father of Anna Atkins, the artist of sketch to the right.

Apart from the Waterloo chair in the Royal collection, he had some other items made from the lumber: a minerals cabinet, a small table cabinet,[a] a writing table,[1][b] a work-table (owned by Anne Atkins),[1] a chair,[citation needed] and a stand with the bark still on it, for a bust of Wellington.
