Notes: Tintinhull is a National Trust property. It is a seventeenth century house with an Arts and Crafts garden in which two yews grow close to the house in Cedar Court. Penelope Hobhouse, who used to work at Tintinhull described 'two ancient yew trees' growing on the south side (Penelope Hobhouse on Gardening). Another report describes 'the long vista down from the house is famous, as is the pool and cedar court with its ancient Yew tree'.
