Notes:

The sepia print of 1897 shows a yew that has lost half of its bole, revealing a substantial internal stem. Allowing for the lost portion of the bole, girth was almost certainly above 7m.
By 1935 only a stump remained. Described as ‘an arboreal curiosity and very old’, it fell on the night of 3rd/4th March.
