Notes:

NE of the church. It has been dramatically ‘pruned’. Some of its internal growth, which took decades or centuries to develop, is now no longer connected to the live parts of the tree from which it developed and which it was supporting. Girths of 19′ 2” (584cm) at the ground and 20′ 4” (620cm) at 3′ recorded.
