Tree ID: 907
Yews recorded: Notable
Tree girth: 287cm
Girth height: at 5cm
Tree sex: male
Date of visit: 23-Dec-00
Source of earliest mention: 1791: Collinson/Rack - History of Somerset
Notes:December 2000 – Tim Hills: From the paintings seen in the site notes we can assume the tree was at least 50 years old in 1785. This would make it about 275 years old now. Its small girth is no doubt influenced by its inability to expand close to the ground. There is however considerable swelling above 1′, particularly on the side facing the path which will have been regularly cut back.
