Yews recorded at this site: Ancient 4m-5m, Notable

Notes: The church is a Victorian rebuild of a medieval building. Its detached belfry survives from the original. The churchyard is owned by the community council. Paul Wood's plan shows 7 yews growing in the churchyard, of which numbers 1, 5, 6 and 7 are recorded here. Paul observed in 2016 that the original churchyard boundary has been greatly reduced to its current size and form. Northwest of the church, number 8 on the plan, is a yew that appears to have once been a churchyard specimen but now grows in the garden of an adjoining property. Trees 3 and 4 on the plan are a pair of young yews planted either side of the lych gate.
