4/11/1988: A letter from Miss M.B.Butcher was sent to the Conservation Foundation as part of their Country Living Yew Tree Campaign. Girths of 9′ 2” (279cm) at 3′ and 8′ 11” (272cm) at 4′ were reported. ‘Just above 3′ a branch leaves the trunk, but is not included in the measurement.’ Allen Meredith has written ‘280 years’ on the letter and a certificate giving this estimated age was sent to the church.
