Notes:

July 1999 – Tim Hills: The largest Warlingham yew grows SE of the church. It consists of a hollow shell with thickening at each side of the ‘entrance’. On the inside an internal stem rises to about 10′ and appears to be connected to the outer part of the tree. Closer inspection reveals it to be free standing. Wires attempt to prevent the branches leaning further outwards. Girth 22′ 1” (673cm) at the ground.
October 2013 – Peter Norton: A fragmenting male yew that will eventually split into two halves.
