Sturminster Newton - Cemetery (Dorset)

These four Sequoiadendron giganteum were found by chance when visiting Sturminster Newton to see the Giant Redwood at St. Mary's church. Two of these are fairly close together, which is a shame but the largest is set apart with plenty of room. The cemetery can be found along the A357 near the bridge over the River Stour and a brief history can be found on the Sturminster Newton Town Council website, although there is no mention of the trees.
