Notes: Paul Wood: Kenderchurch Parish consists of little more than the Church, Howton Court and Pontrilas Sawmills. The church appears to have been restored in 1871, but parts of the building date back to the 12th century, while an even older origin is suspected but as yet unproven. The largest yew grows WSW of the church, with a further 4 younger yews on the south perimeter.
