One of the oldest and most majestic living trees in Britain, thought to be over 1500 years old.
In the small village of Much Marcle, an ancient tree stands beside St. Bartholomew’s Church. Though the church dates back to the 13th century, the tree is even older—it has a few centuries on the building. The yew’s hollow trunk is vast enough to accommodate several people standing inside it. The yew’s longevity and grandeur have earned it recognition as one of Britain’s most important trees.
