Notes:

Owen Johnson (The Sussex Tree Book) records South Bersted as a site where a ‘notable tree’ has been lost. In 1870 it was recorded as a ‘hollow yew, more than eight feet in diameter’. By 1975 the tree had been reduced to this single fragment with a girth of 13′ 4”. It is possibly the last photographic record of the tree.
