Notes: This location is only half a mile from the Herefordshire border. The village consists of a few houses clustered around a crossing of minor roads, with the church at the end of a cul-de-sac on the east side. The earliest parts of the church are 12th century, though the yews are probably more contemporary with the Tudor moated farmhouse next door. The plan shows four yews in the churchyard and tree B is the one recorded here.
