James, I know of that tree in Norfolk! I know exactly where it is located and across the street is a pond. I knew the gentleman that lived across the street close to the pond. He passed away last year and the family sold the house. On a side note, you might want to venture to Elm Street in Bellingham, follow the road till you see a monster Sycamore just before or after the Mendon or Blackstone meetinghouse. It is a bigger specimen.
