Feering - All Saints Church (Essex)

According to one of the locals, these two Giant Redwood were planted many years ago by the vicar of All Saints church, for his two daughters. There is probably a little more to the story, so if anyone knows about this we would be very pleased to hear. There is also a small Coast Redwood (Sequoia semperivens) of about 8ft tall - quite a rare find! Nearby, also in the church grounds, there is a tree that has a peculiarly flaky bark with a rich reddish-mauve colour, as can be seen in the photograph. It is a Paper-bark Maple (Acer griseum). Not a Redwood, admittedly but certainly worth seeing!
