February 2008 – Robert Burrows: Two yews were planted to the east of the church in 1729. In the 1908 History of Hampshire ‘two fine yew trees’ were described, but they succumbed to the storms of 1987 and 1990 and had to be felled. Their stumps remain, each about 1m in diameter.
2013 – Peter Norton: Close to the southeast corner are two stumps either side of the path leading to a field. The most northerly is ivy covered while the other has a holly growing from its centre. The girth of this yew was 13′ 4” (406cm) at about 1′ 6”.
