Notes:In A History of the county of Buckinghamshire (1925) a fine yew was described growing north-west of the church. It was so large that in the hollow trunk ‘twelve persons can take shelter at the same time’. An elderly resident was able to identify a slight mound under the turf near the Freeman Mausoleum, the only remaining evidence of this once huge tree.
This drawing, artist unknown but appearing to be dated 1889, is the only pictorial evidence we have of this fine ancient yew.
