The tree surgeons have been to St. Mary's Church

The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, in Henlow dates back to the 12th century, originally part of a Cistercian monastery then becoming part of the Church of England under the realm of King Henry VIII. The churchyard trees, many quite elderly, play an important role given their beauty, habitat for wildlife and ability to absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
