Notes:

Tim Hills – 2000: A male yew with a girth of 11′ 9″ (358cm) at 3′ standing above a fine root display spreading sideways from its base that rests on a small mound. Of particular note was the great quantity of Laetiporus sulphureus and a very blotchy red bark. Here is a particularly good tree on which to see how individual buttresses fuse into branches further up in the tree.
Peter Norton 2009: A male yew, with a splendid root system, grows on a large mound just outside of the church porch and is in the process of displacing some tombed graves. Girth was 10’ 10” (330cm) at 1’, where an embedded nail marks the height, and 12’ 1” (368cm) at 2’.
