The stepdaughter of Sir Paul McCartney has upset Druids and white witches after she ordered an ancient tree outside her home to be cut down.
Hundreds of Druids are planning to descend on Heather McCartney's cottage at Pett, near Rye, to halt the felling of the yew tree she believes is damaging the foundations of her home.
Arthur Pendragon, who leads one of the largest Druid sects in the country, is threatening to chain himself to the tree, along with local white witch Kevin Carlyon.
The parish council has already placed an emergency preservation order on the tree but Miss McCartney is understood to have only postponed the felling.
Mr Carlyon said: "Yew trees are hallowed ground."
