Wed Nov 13th. Jonathan Stephens will be talking to us about the remarkable history of the   Twyn Square Cedar tree: who planted it, and why? The tale ranges from the local people involved, through the life and adventures (real and imagined) of Edward John Trelawney, who propagated it, and to the life and death of Percy Bysshe Shelley, in whose memory it was planted.
