Source of earliest mention: 1865: A handbook for travellers in Surrey, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight-King and Murray

Notes:

Tree 17 is at a bend in the path on the left hand side. It is recorded as one tree since both trunks are male and appear joined close to the ground. The possibility of it being two yews that have grown side by side can also be considered. The trunk on the higher ground has had two large hollow branches removed from it at 7’/8′. Girth is 13′ 9” (419cm) at 1′. That on the lower ground has a girth of 10′ 8” (325cm) at 1′.
