2008 Tim Hills: The church internet guide describes that ‘an ancient yew stands in the church grounds’. It is not however ancient, but a notable yew with a girth of 11 9” (358cm) at 6”. The space beneath the tree was being used to store old tombstones etc. It has a bole of 6’/8′, supporting many upright branches. Uniformity of these suggests that it was once severely pollarded. The Google Earth image shows the yew with its neat regular crown to the right of the tall tree.
