Notes:February 2003 – Tim Hills: This yew has become part of the wall at the west corner of the ruins. It is difficult to know whether the tree is holding up the wall or vica versa. I wondered also whether this intermingled growth might be from more than one tree.
2016 – Paul Wood: The tree grows either side of a five feet thick wall with branches and internal stems growing across the top of the wall. The wall was obviously there before the yew, suggesting seeds dropped by birds to be the most likely explanation. The tree’s position either side of the wall suggested that this might be more than one tree, so that we are misled into thinking the tree is older than it actually is.
