Richards Castle Hill Fort

2007 – Tim Hills: The yew just inside the castle grounds and adjacent to the churchyard was recorded with a girth of 14′ 7” (444.5cm) close to the ground.
2016 – Paul Wood: There is relatively new barbed wire fencing around the yew and it was not possible to get close to the bole. The canopy of this yew is now just touching the ground, except for a small portion that overhangs the churchyard. Here you can just get in under the canopy. Sadly this space was full of the churchyard rubbish. The yew looks healthy enough, though foliage had a yellow tinge to it over most of the tree.
