Notes:

August 2000 – Tim Hills: The tree is about the same height as the church. Through many holes and gaps can be seen internal growth. The space also being used as a place to dump rubbish. The tree has at some stage been covered in ivy and crude attempts made to cut this back have left saw marks on the bole.
2013 – Wim Peeters: A hollow tree with internal growth. Several low branches have been removed. On the SW side the crown has a thin appearance, but in comparison with the photo of Henri Gadeau de Kerville in 1929, the tree is recovering well. Girth in 2013 recorded as 818cm at 150cm.
In 2009 a girth of 8.10m at a height of 1.30m was recorded by Georges Feterman.
