November 2002 – Tim Hills: On its way to becoming a hollow shell, its centre a mix of decaying wood and a large elongated internal stem. Girth of 15′ 8” (478cm) at 2′ recorded.
2013 – Tim Hills: Both the ancient and the younger yew growing nearby have been allowed to be overrun by ivy, so measurement is no longer possible.
