Notes:

According to Mee (1937) ‘those who knew East Lavant’s old church when it was new may have known its old yew when it was very young; it throws out its branches to make a ring about 200 ft round’. Its hollowness was considered dangerous and it was felled in the early 1980s (Owen Johnson). Girth has been recorded as 28′.
