This massive, hollow yew tree stands guard over St Georges churchyard in Crowhurst and is thought to be some 4000 years old. The first record of its girth comes in a parish note of 1630, when it was measured at 30 feet (9.1m). John Evelyn in 1664 recorded that there was a yew “in the churchyward of Crowhurst in the county of Surrey, which I am told is ten yards in compass”, but modern measurement states 34 feet. Further recorded by John Aubrey in his Natural History & Antiquities Of The County Of Surrey (1718/1719) the yew boasts a hollow interior space of about 6 feet, with a doorway and wooden door.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is one of my favourite country lanes and is featured in the book Lost Lanes (No. 3). It follows the route of Kent Water and is an absolutely gorgeous route through a little valley.

St Mary's Church, Chiddingstone

Highlight • Historical Site

While the oldest record of a church in this village dates back to the 12th century, the oldest parts of the current one, listed as a Grade II listed building, date from the 13th century. However, the nave had to be reconstructed in the 17th century after being struck by lightning.
