March 2012 – Rob McBride: Girth of 433cm at 80cm recorded.
September 2016 – Paul Wood: A remote site consisting of little more than the restored church and a farm. The yew looked fine and had healthy dark green foliage as well as the lighter green of new leaves. A few dead branches adorned the crown and a little ivy was visible on the northeast side of the tree.
