Notes:

September 2003 – Tim Hills: A fine tree spoiled by large quantities of ivy and the storage of bins beneath its branches. Of its nearly 15′ girthed bole, 5′ is of dead wood and a further 2′ is a gap to its interior. By 2015 this has become so overwhelmed by ivy that the yew is completely lost.
