Notes:

May 2003 – Tim Hills: The yew leans outwards over the wall and has demolished 18” of it. Many new branches grow from lower bole and swell its girth.
2014 – Peter Norton: Four yews grow here, the significant one overlooking the footpath leading up to the church from the small parking area. Its position is south of the church. It was not possible to obtain a measurement above the 10′ drop. Of the 3 younger yews, a female north of the church is around 9′ in girth, a male to the east is 9′ 11”, and at the foot of the slope close to the minor road is a female girthing 11′ 6”. This tree has been allowed to branch layer. In
February 2020: The ancient yew fell in a storm, demolishing the wall and blocking the lane below.
