Notes: Although now in a garden, this yew is situated on an ancient boundary. The house nearby dates back to 1504. An article was written some time ago entitled 'The oldest living thing in Sheffield?' (Sheffield Archives). The writer (M.J.) considers that it is likely to be the oldest living tree in South Yorkshire, 'of botanical interest because of its undoubted great age.........and is likely to be a planted boundary marker.'
