Notes:Tim Hills 2002: The yew grows on a small mound with a wall around it. Of two parallel rising stems, one is alive, while the other is dead and truncated at a height of about 18′. Attempts have been made to chain the two stems together. It is possible that these might be the remains of a once larger tree, but as yet there is no evidence to confirm this.
