Looks a beech hedge with a hawthorn and some cherry trees. Leaders left to grow into trees, not a good idea as unless you either want to them develop into either a higher hedge or a line of trees instead of a hedge as they will shade bottom and make the hedge thin if left as trees You can trim the beech and hawthorn now . Leave pruning any lower branches on the cherry trees till summer due to silver leaf risk. Maximizing light will thicken the base of the hedge up, having to many trees above overhanging etc isn't good due to excess shade, also keeping the hegde trimmed in future will be easier if the lower cherry tree branches are kept clear of hedge top. Remove old fence unless its needed stopping stock etc and keep grass cut on both sides along base (without barking trunks) as that will thicken base gaps up as long grass in summer probably shaded the base....

Jusr re reading this says beech were done every10 - 15yrs by the basques https://www.ancienttreeforum.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/A-study-of-practical-pollarding-techniques-in-northern.pdf Thought I had read 20yrs somewhere was the traditional rotation. So 10-15yrs sounds good
