Henrietta's Elm Stands Guard Over Dorset Heritage
A dying elm near Dorset village, known as Henrietta's Elm, is venerated as a memorial to Henrietta Anna Louise Jackson Hamlin. Born in 1811, she faced tuberculosis and spiritual doubt before marrying Cyrus Hamlin and helping found a Turkish university. The elm, praised in morning light, symbolizes resilience as it nears its final silence.
