Could someone identify this tree for me please? It’s probably really obvious but I don’t know!

It’s seen a few things change that’s for sure and I’m guessing it’s glyphosate resistant now as well

Sweet chestnut are found across England. They are an introduced species possibly by the Romans. They make excellent timber, unlike their cousins the horse chestnut. They are great for coppicing and were the basis of forest industry making all manner of fencing and other products.
They are far better for stakes as the rot at a far lower rate than Oak
