Notes:

2013 – Tim Hills: All of the yews along the southern perimeter are among those described by Collinson in 1791. They were presumably all planted at the same time, but we do not know the year. Their girths vary considerably, from smallest to largest they are 7′ 11” (tree 6), 8′ 1” (tree 5), 9′ 8” (tree 2), 9′ 9” (tree 3) and 12′ 11” (tree 7). The 5 photos show tree 6, 5, 2, 3, 7.
