That's a May bug, Chrissy. They live as larvae under the ground for 3 to 4 years before developing into adults and coming to the surface when the're about 3-4 cm big (usually in May). Typical that it was found in a hedge, because that's where you usually find them. There used to be lots of them some 30 years ago, but they have almost gone extinct in some areas. I saw my first one in 30 years a few weeks ago...
