Walton-on-the-Hill Churchyard Yew

Common yew

An ancient tree, 3.5 m round the trunk

Photograph it, say why it's worth seeing, and it goes on the map as a Cool Tree, found by you. Anybody can add to it after that.

Walton On The Hill, Reigate and Banstead

The position comes from a survey, so expect to be within a few metres rather than standing at the trunk.

Is this the one?

What to check when you get there.

It should be a common yew.
It's 3.5 m round the trunk. That's the easiest check there is.
It has several stems rather than one trunk, so look for a clump growing from a single base.
Only part of it is still standing, so look for a shell or a broken trunk rather than a whole tree.
People round here may know it as Walton-on-the-Hill Churchyard Yew, and there's sometimes a sign.
The position came from a surveyor, so it can be a few metres out. If two big trees are close together, the girth usually settles it.
