who owns the hedge?

My question, too. Oh, dear. If Rhiannon owns it, then she can do what
she likes, but it may perhaps save a bit of hassle if she does it
now. If you don't own it, I'd suggest getting it sympathetically
trimmed right away: new owners next door can't complain at routine
maintenance.

According to the deeds I have, we have 'sole responsibility' for
maintaining that particular boundary, which I assume means that it's
ours. However, whether the new neighbours know this is another
matter.

You may be responsible for the boundary, but the trees may still be on your
neighbours land.
Don't your deeds give any clue as to where the boundary is? A specific
distance from house wall? In a continuing straight line from your next door
neighbours? Frankly, until you establish ownership, I wouldn't touch them.
