When Janet Howes died suddenly 20 years ago from a heart attack, her devoted husband Winston decided he wanted to create an everlasting and touching tribute to her.
The farmer, now 73, planted thousands of oak saplings in a six-acre field – but left a heart-shaped area in the middle, with the point facing towards his wife’s childhood home.
And as the remarkable pictures here show, his romantic labour of love has now grown into a mature meadow, a peaceful oasis where Mr Howes can sit and remember his wife of 33 years.
His incredible symbol of love remained a family secret until a balloonist noticed it by chance from the air.
