| Notes: |
This is the largest girthed of the 4 yews and was described in Andrew Morton's Tree Heritage of Britain and Ireland (1998) as 'very much alive but it has split, with branches layering into the surrounding ground'. It was described by Donald Roger in 2000 as 'split and layering'. A girth of 21' (640cm) at 1' was recorded in 1890. In 2016 a girth of 868cm (28' 6'') was recorded at the same height, the large increase due to the tree splitting apart. This tree is number 31468 on the Ancient Tree Hunt website and is located at NS4199566134. |
