Notes: The Project Gutenberg, EBook of the Natural History of Wiltshire by John Aubrey and produced by Mikle Coher states that 'At Ewridge, in the parish of Colern, in North Wilts they (yews) also grow indifferently plentifull'. We searched most of the wooded areas around Euridge Manor. None had any sign of yew. Even the most likely area, a steep slope above a river, had at some time been cleared and was now filled with coppiced hazel.
