This pair of Giant Redwood stand in the churchyard of the United Reform Church in Bolford Street. Whilst measuring these, a local resident and his young son came over to ask the height of the trees and was pleased to hear that his own estimate was fairly accurate!
This photograph was taken on a visit in 2024, it wasn't possible to measure the girths as there was too much foliage around them
