Notes:

In 1988 Paul Devereaux, then warden of the Lugg valley Field Centre, sent information to the Conservation Foundation. He described the churchyard yew as having a girth of 13′ 7” (415cm) at 3′ and 16′ (488cm) at 4′.
2016 – Paul Wood: All that has changed since 2014 is the addition of another water tank and some rolls of wire, making close inspection impossible.
