Notes:In 1791 Collinson recorded 2 very large old yew trees, both hollow, and measuring 15′ in circumference.
By 1940 Mee described ‘one of the yews dying after 700 years’.
February 2008 – This postcard from c1905 has been sent to us by James E. Cole. It shows the position, and gives an idea of the condition of the yew of which no trace now remains. It grew close to the surviving yew, which can be seen to the left of the picture
