Notes: A multiple tree site in a glorious hillside setting with a 13th century church. My visits cover the period 1999 to 2012. In 1999 some of the trees were inaccessible because of low twiggy growth, the storage of churchyard waste close to their trunks and rampant ivy. In 2012 all the trees appeared to be in good shape. A visit by Paul Wood in 2016 shows the trees once again beginning to be smothered by ivy.
