There's a few "Kett's Oak"s but the famous one, the Oak of Reformation,

which was on Mousehold, and where Kett held his court, delivered his proclamations, etc, is long gone. It was ancient even in 1549.

The one between Wymondham and Hetherset is where the Kett brothers delivered one of their earlier speeches to the Norfolk folk, while their then growing rebellion was on the way to Mousehold to make camp.
