Source of earliest mention: 2005: Peter Andrews

Notes:

November 2005 – Tim Hills: Tree 4 has fragmented into two sides, one of which is fed by an internal stem filling part of its centre. Many thick upright branches make this a particularly tall tree. Girth 22′ 7” (688cm) close to the ground.
2010 – Peter Andrews: Large female yew. Very tall, multi stemmed above its hollow and split base. Initial measurement of 25′ (762cm) at 3′ does not give a true picture of its size. We passed a tape through small side branches and spray and recorded 23′ (701cm) at the base. This fine tree seems to have been a favourite with local children, with many well made platforms in the branches.
2015 Peter Norton: Girth of 22′ 3” (678cm) at the ground. Hollow with a large internal stem, much white wood in evidence, with secondary wood flowing around it. Girth includes a thick ivy stem. Found at SU0747214264.
