Yews recorded at this site: Ancient 4m-5m, Ancient 5m-7m
Notes: 1999: Here is a small Norman church with a Saxon font. Two ancient female yews grow side by side ESE of the church, numbered 1 and 2 on the plan. Both are on mounds, girths are similar, yet they are very different in appearance. In 2015 Paul Wood noted another significant yew, number 3 on the plan.
