1983 – Reg Wheeler (who called the site Llansaintffraid). He noted a tree of 4 stems, and recorded 17′ 1” at 2′ 9” below forking.
September 2004 – Tim Hills: Though large in girth, this yew (ESE of the church) could fit with 1611 as a planting date. Girth of 19′ 3” at the ground exaggerated by twiggy growth.
