Notes:

August 1998 – Tim Hills: Yew 9 grows SSE of the church. It is of solid appearance and lower branches have been removed. Girth exaggerated by dense twiggy growth.
2017 Paul Wood: Tree 9 on the plan. The yew grows on a low mound. A girth of 18′ 10” (574cm) was recorded at the ground, though this was quite difficult with long twiggy growth around a large part of the bole. It had a deep green foliage and healthy looking crown. No problems were noted but it was striking how much one side of the tree had been cut back to minimise the overhang out of the churchyard. The tree consequently has a very lop-sided appearance.
