George wrote; "This area has three Wellingtonia in it. Wellingtonia were named after the Duke of Wellington and he got his name from this town of Wellington. This would explain why there are so many of them around the town, including this young one who was planted for the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, in which the Duke of Wellington was a Commander." |
