2005 – Tim Hills: Ivy had been removed from this yew, whose branches have been allowed to dip to the ground. The tree bulges considerably at a height of 3′ to 4′.
2017 – Paul Wood: The yew grows 15m south of the church’s south porch. Although the yew only has a girth of 11′ 4” (3.45m) at 3′ (91cm) its girth at a height of 8′ would be considerably more. The yew is hollowing in a number of places and white wood is visible throughout the tree. Although it is of squat appearance it has a large and sprawling canopy that in places almost touches the ground. The tree looked almost silver in colour from the thickest covering of lichen I have ever seen on a tree. In addition two very young but tall yews grow west of this tree.
