June 2011 – Peter Norton: Two yews grow here, the first NE of the church at 51.368003,-0.86233. Its trunk is hollow and it has been pollarded at a height of about 5′. A large metal band encircles the tree. Inside the hollow grows thick stemmed ivy.
A second tree of similar girth (11′ 2” at 2′ and 11′ 8” at 3′) is female and grows SE of the church at 51.367731,-0.862191. The west facing side of the tree has a large area of rotting wood which has also been damaged by fire. It is seen in photos 3, 4 and 5.
