The story even says "There are several Holy Thorn trees located around Glastonbury". And links to this which says "While this thorn is not the original tree it is believed to be a descendant of it, having been grown from a cutting of the original", and that it might well grow back from this attack. Whoever did it is still a jerk though.
The local park which includes William Morris' house has a collection of different types of trees. The one right by the main entrance of the house was ring-barked by vandals recently, so they had to remove it.
But if they're looking for whoever cut down the holy tree, have they checked for any small charcoal biscuits in the vicinity?
It's one of those Grandfathers Axe things. It may be on it's third new head and fourth new handle but it's still Grandfathers Axe. The point isn't the tree shaped thing that has just been cut down but the 2000 years of Treeness that it's the latest incarnation of which has been dissed.
