In 1815 it was recorded that ‘three yew trees, of great apparent antiquity, remain in the church-yard; about 20 years ago three others of equal size were cut down. When they were all standing, the appearance of the church, almost buried in a grove of yew trees, was remarkably picturesque’.
The 1815 engraving appears to show one of the lost yews. In 1987 two of the remaining three, seen in the second and third photographs, were blown down in the hurricane.
Their girths in 1975 were given as 15′ 6” and 21′.
