unknown tree

[Armin]

Could it be Acer?
Acer x duretti (syn. Acer x coriaceum)

Armin I have been searching the web and I think it may be Acer campestris the English Field Maple which would fit for the size as well as the foliage.

Undersides white or not.   One darn big campaestre!

It doesn,t look like A. campestre to me.

John I don't know if its too big. The Hall in whose grounds it is planted was built in the the early 1700's so it could have been planted any time since.  I posted pictures of all the trees at Haughton Hall in the places to visit section.

Sorry did not check the underside of the leaves.

Shelgh,
if that was the bark in the background of the leaf foto, it can't be an Acer.  They all have relatively smooth bark.  That heavily corrigated bark would suggest Poplus or Betula, with the first being my guess. As they are all promiscuous, a Populus hybrid is likely.
