Notes:August 1999 – Tim Hills: The yew grows SSE of the church. It consists of 3 main branches from a bole of about 4′ – while a 4th had been removed. Area around base used at the time as a store for rocks, metal and decaying vegetation. Signs of fire/smoke damage on one of the branches. Girth of about 16′ 6” (503cm) at the ground recorded.
2015 – Paul Wood: The female yew SSE of the church was measured at the ground and we recorded 16′ 11” (516cm). The tree looks extremely well, but continues to have stones piled up at the base.
