21st October 2007 – Ian Robert Brown: A hollow shell that is being used as the churchyard broom cupboard! Has been fire damaged but new wood is being laid down around the old dead wood. New branch growth, thick foliage covering and appears in good health. A line of five mature yews can be seen leading up to the church with a avenue of short clipped yews.
19th Nov 2011 – Peter Norton: Six yews recorded, two male and three female grow close to the south perimeter, the largest of which is male girthing 10′ at 1′ 6”. Just SW of the church is the hollowed male being used to store churchyard maintenance tools. Girth close to the ground was 13′ 9” (419cm).
