Notes:

1991 – Percy Morgan: Girth of 460cm (15′ 1”) at 90cm.
September 2010 – Tim Hills: The yew grows at the SE corner of the church and very close to the building. Girth of approximately 14′ recorded.
2016 Paul Wood: The yew was bathed in late summer sun and difficult to photograph. It looked very green and its bole was virtually hidden by twiggy growth. Ivy on the west side of the tree was out of control and reaching far into the crown. Its closeness to the church will make it a threat to the building in the future. Also in the churchyard were two thriving younger, well developed yews.
