Notes:

February 1999 – Tim Hills: Girths of about 17′ 6” (533cm) at the ground and 20′ 3” (617cm) at 3′ were recorded. Much of its fluted bole was hidden behind twiggy and adventitious growth. The removal of a large branch that grew towards the church has resulted in a hollow space 3′ from top to bottom and 3′ deep. Much of the foliage appeared unhealthy in 1999 but had recovered by 2005.
February 2014 – Peter Norton: The fine female yew grows close to the south porch. It has lost one large branch which has allowed rot to set in and the tree is now fully hollow. No indication of any internal stems and the hollow space has been filled with thick clay like soil to almost 3ft in height. Girth was recoded as 17′ 11” (546cm) at the ground on the east side and at the root crown on the west side of the tree.
