Notes:July 1999 – Tim Hills: The yew has an unusually large number of rising branches, the largest combining outer and internal growth. Decay of a large piece of dead wood at the entrance to the hollow will reduce girth by about 2′ 6″. A girth of 25′ 11” (790cm) was recorded at the ground, allowing tape to ride above roots.
April 2014 – Peter Norton: This large and fragmenting male yew grows near to the south porch. There is much evidence of the flow of new wood over an old dead branch. Minimum girth of 25′ 1” (765cm) at about 6”.
2018 – Luke Steer recorded the tree’s diameter 245cm, giving a circumference of 770cm (25′ 3”).
