A lovely visit this afternoon to the National Trust, Whipsnade Tree Cathedral, which is very special to my family.
It was devised by Edmund Blythe in 1930 as a permanent memorial to three friends killed in the War, and planted in the spirit of faith, hope and reconciliation. The site was neglected during the second War but rescued and given to the National Trust in the 1960’s. It is a serene and thought provoking place/ that shows the vision on one man who could not possibly have expected to live to see it fully grown.
