2003 – Tim Hills: The yew grows close to the south porch. A trunk of about 6′ leads to two main growth areas. There are many sawn off branches.
2010 – Peter Norton: Girths of 12′ 2” (371cm) at the root crown and 12′ 6” (381cm) at 3′ recorded.
With a girth of under 4m the tree is presently classified as notable. Because it displays veteran characteristics it will in the future be classified as V-con (veteran on account of its condition).
Also noted in this churchyard (2010) was a male yew, north of the church, with a girth of 9′ 6” (290cm) at 1′.
