Corhampton

The Hants Antiquary and Naturalist 1890 reproduced an article that appeared in The Hampshire Independent in October 1889: Corhampton – The ancient yew tree here – it is said to be a thousand years old-is about 22ft. round, is almost all as fresh as ever, and nearly half fills, by its head, the little Saxon churchyard. The altar stone-placed under the shade of the tree – is not faced, like the one at Shillingstone, Dorset.”
September 1998 – Tim Hills: The yew is SE of the church. It has a clean bole and branches that have been allowed to reach the ground and become embedded in the soil. Girths of 23′ 6” (716cm) at the base, 25′ 1” (765cm) at 3′ and 23′ 4” (711cm) at 5′ recorded.
September 1999 – Tim Hills: Girths of 23′ 4” (711cm) at the ground, 25′ 1” (765cm) at 3′.
1999 – Russell Cleaver: A dark solemn large crowned tree, 23′ 4” (7.11m at 1.1m) girth, concealing a lovely, small Saxon church, tucked away beside the A32 at Meonstoke.
2010 – Peter Norton: Girth near to the ground 24′ 0” (732cm) below the bulge and 23′ 6” (716cm) at 5′, above the bulge.
