Richmond

An article in www.southernlife.org.uk/Surrey/richmond.htm describes a sundial replacing ‘a yew tree that was planted by Elizabeth’.
In the 1813 Beauties of England and Wales by John Britton and others, it states that: ‘In Mr Fullerton’s garden is still remaining an old yew tree, mentioned in the survey and there valued at £10. It is upwards of 10′ in circumference’.
In The Environs of London: Volume 1, County of Surrey – originally published by T Cadell and W Davies, London, 1792, it notes other houses on the site of the palace and states that ‘in Mr. Skinner’s garden there still exists the old yew-tree which is mentioned in the Survey, and there valued at 10l. The circumference of its trunk is 10 feet 3 inches’.
