Notes: 1769 - Registrum Roffense: "........and in the churchyard are two yew trees, the least of which is twenty-two feet and a half in girt." 1800: The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 10, originally published by W Bristow, Canterbury, reported that 'In the churchyard is a remarkable fine yew tree, which measures upwards of twenty feet round.' It seems strange that only one yew was noted. Today a sign outside the churchyard labels the 2 fine male yews growing E and W.
