Farway - Church Green

May 1998 – Tim Hills: Several substantial branches rise from a short bole. Chains are stretched around these to prevent them from pulling further apart and exerting strain on the bole. Girth of 23′ 9” (724cm) at 1′ recorded.
March 2006 – A site meeting was held with members of the local community to discuss this fine tree as part of the Great Trees of East Devon project. Later in the year the yew was nominated by Sue Tucker and is now officially recognised as one of the Great Trees of East Devon.
2012 – Some bronzing had been reported on branches above the Laetiporous. David Colman, Tree Officer reported ‘General foliar condition is good throughout the rest of the crown with little evidence of the bronzing that was so apparent when you last saw the tree’.
June 2013 – Peter Norton: The yew grows opposite the SE corner of the church at 50.761731,-3.174533. Measured at about 6” from the ground and with a slightly undulating tape a girth of 23′ 3” (709cm) was obtained.
