The tall lime trees have been allowed to grow into large trees, rather than being heavily pruned and pollarded, which is how this species is often treated in formal gardens and churchyards. The sweet chestnut tree behind has been pruned during its life by an experienced tree surgeon, who preserved its shape and character after its main leader snapped during strong winds.
