The horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is one of the most widely distributed trees in England but the familiar conkers inside prickly shells have a bitter taste and can cause stomach upsets if eaten.
The edible nuts associated with Christmas come from a different tree, the sweet chestnut , and one of Yorkshire’s largest concentrations is in the deer park at Studley Royal near Ripon. The Romans introduced sweet chestnuts to Britain as a ready source of protein. The nuts were ground into flour and cooked like polenta. By medieval times roasted chestnuts had become the popular winter food we know today.
The Studley Royal sweet chestnuts were planted, like others around great country houses like Nostell Priory and Temple Newsam, to provide food for the herds of deer which were hunted by the nobility and their guests. The Studley estate, now owned and managed by the National Trust, can be traced back to the 12th century and a map of the park first appeared in 1577. Studley Royal House was destroyed by fire in 1946 and not replaced.
