Notes: In his Churchyard Yew and Immortality (1946) Cornish noted ten yews. Reg Wheeler's plan of 1983 shows fourteen individuals as well as a yew hedge. He recorded the girth of each tree. My visit of 2000 was in pouring rain and twelve individuals were counted, of which three are recorded here. In 1981 Pat Denne recorded 16 yews at this site.
