Notes:

November 2016 – Tim Hills: The female yew consists of 3 massive stems around a 3′ high centre of humus. A 4th stem has snapped off and been replaced by a younger one growing up from near its base. The most easterly stem is completely hollowed out. These would seem to be well developed fragments from an old tree. Girth was recorded close to the ground to obtain the lowest possible measurement and including some thin ivy was 21′ 2” (645cm).
