The rugged yew tree is a survivor, having been badly damaged in several recent arson attacks. The yew likely predates the All Saints church built in the 12th century. There is evidence of Roman and Saxon settlement in this area, and so it is likely a wooden church once existed on the present site. Baxter wrote about the yew in his 1992 book 'The Eternal Yew' and called it 'a survivor whatever the circumstances - a typical eternal yew'.
