Llanveynoe - churchyard

April 2010 – Tim Hills: Many thick trunks, all appearing of similar age, rise from a low bole. Impossible to measure through the low twiggy growth and brambles. Girth about 17′.
2016 – Paul Wood: An interesting site, believed to have been a bastion of Christianity long before the Normans arrived. The churchyard cross is thought to predate its 13th century rebuild. I also noted a curving ditch on the north and west side in the field around the church, suggesting that a circular boundary once enclosed this remote church – long before any maps were drawn. Many other earthworks were visible and this site. The yew grows south of the porch and was unapproachable for close inspection, made more difficult by a holly tree growing on the east and south side. It looked very healthy with a deep green and plentiful foliage. In recent times lower limbs have needed to be removed to keep the church porch clear. This will need to be carried out again in the near future.
