Ancient yew in St Lawrence Churchyard, Leaveland

Uploader's Comments

St Lawrence Church is fairly isolated, just off the busy A251 but within sight of it. It is of flint and is basically Early English with a nave and north aisle, and a chancel. This ancient yew is next to the south wall. It is clearly exceedingly old and has lost parts of its trunk but whether it is as ancient as the 1,500 years of the yew in the churchyard at Loose near Maidstone I do not know - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5423199
