Monkey tree?
Question Author
Understand monkey being a swinger but thought it was a monkey puzzle tree, and not sure about 3 legged?
Hi cheerybob - could refer to a monkey stool? It was a bit of a long shot on my part I must admit
Question Author
Well a long shot is better than no shot touchstone. I have been racking my brain with the cricket stump idea and also Joshua tree (U2 album) but a bit vague.
I can only wish you the best of luck cheerybob as it's certainly got me baffled and obviously by the responses everyone else too
Question Author
Thanks touchstone for giving it a go. will keep at it for a couple more days
So will I cheerybob - it's getting too frustrating now not to know the answers
Hi, I've been looking at these too - didn't post as I don't have any answers for you.
I'm intrigued to know the answers too so good luck and I'll let you know if I think I've got anywhere near any!
for no 4 I'm thinking along the line of Student Prince and the "precept" could be LAW., but it doesn't make sense to me. Is there a theme to the answers?
Question Author
The only theme given is in the brackets. I agree law could be part of No. 4 but cannot get the right William

Calibax thank you. Brilliant.
Tyburn Tree is the three legged stool.

From wikipedia:

In 1571, the "Tyburn Tree" was erected near the modern Marble Arch. The "Tree" or "Triple Tree" was a novel form of gallows, comprising a horizontal wooden triangle supported by three legs (an arrangement known as a "three legged mare" or "three legged stool").
