    What an extraordinary and magnificent being that tree is. I always marvel at the fact that trees outnumber us by about 400:1 and outlive us many lifetimes over, living their lives at a different pace.

      But Nature has her tools as well. Lightening and wind are the most dramatic but there are more subtile ones also. Fungi and insects work to "carve" the wood and the sun bleaches and hardens it. Nature works her magic very slowly. It may take centuries but the masterpiece will be created.

    Outstanding! Worth a pilgrimage in their own right. To anyone wondering, the first absolutely ancient yew is at St.George’s church, Crowhurst (as was very briefly shown at the beginning of the vid). The ancient oak is in nearby Lindfield, “St Peter’s cross and jail house cage with adjacent hollow oak”. I don’t know where the second yew is? Perhaps Peter will deign to tell us…

    I don't know about the UK but here in the US yews are not commonly used for bonsai. I think this may be because they are so frequently used in front of homes. They are considered too ordinary and common. Yews make beautiful bonsai and are excellent for deadwood carving. I have 3 yew bonsai and recommend them as bonsai.

    I love old trees like that. There used to be a similar yew like that at Selbourne Church and an uneducated local cut down all the natural airlayerings and branches that made its way to the ground and sadly the tree had no support and fell over, it was well over a thousand years old. They found druid graves under it when they where cleaning up. There is also a hollow oak tree in Liss the local trouble makers were put inside and pelted with rotten food.

      If so, it is strange that in Professor Ronald Hutton's history of the Druids 'Blood and Mistletoe' he makes no mention of 2000 year old pagan graves in Btitish churchyards.
      Care to provide evidence?
      And when the Selbourne yew collapsed in January 1990 the graves found beneath it were medieval - the earliest dated to 1200 AD.

    The Churchyard Yew by Charubel
    Revered reminder of ages long fled
    Thy shade is sacred, beneath lie the dead
    Those wrecks are the relics of mortality,
    Their ashes now pay their tribute to thee.
    Emblem of sadness! In thy ever dark-green
    Trace reflections of life that has been
    Life all dependent on what is most frail,
    At night ’midst thy branches hear wail.
    It is an echo the wave-crest the foam,
    Life that is houseless, just driven from home.
    In vision see thee ’mid wilds in the past,
    Defiantly braving the rude winter blast.
    Those winds blew o’er moor and o’er fen,
    Places then free from the dwellings of men.
    O’er those rude scenes the winds whistled wild,
    It is thus how nature nurses her child.
    How fragile so-ever the sapling may be,
    ’Tis doomed to shaking ere it grows to tree.
    At present ’tis not so much that is seen
    Of this sombre old tree, which stands between
    The past and the present, the old and the new,
    That I am concerned with and telling to you
    But rather ’tis this the truth I’m revealing,
    The Yew is healer, its powers of healing
    Surpasses the body, it extends to the soul!
    Poor and dejected, wilt thou be made whole
    Why should you suffer such anguish of mind,
    And ever be seeking for what you can’t find
    Drugs and potations, all fail to control
    Those greatest afflictions, those ills of the soul.
    Turn thy sad soul to this grand old tree
    Be earnest, be faithful, and thou shalt be free.The Churchyard Yew by Charubel

    The yew dominates the churchyard at St George's Church in Crowhurst, Surrey.
    If the Yew is 4,000 years old, it has seen the rise and fall of empires and occupiers, the evolution of society from primitive to technologically advanced. Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans have all come and gone under its weary branches.
    However, since it is nearly impossible to date a Yew, some experts believing the tree is closer to 1,500 years old.
    When Celtic tribes populated Britain, the Yew tree was revered as a symbol of longevity and rebirth. This continued under Roman occupation but such practices were stopped when the Empire converted to Christianity.
    The Crowhurst Yew would be right at home in Fangorn forest, the ancient woodland of J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Or it could be the home of a witch, goblin or fairy due to a somewhat mysterious door and hollowed out trunk.
    Around 1820, a group of locals hollowed out the bole of the tree and fashioned it into a meeting place and a tearoom with enough space to put a table and seating to accommodate 15 people.
    In the process of 'excavating' the tree, the locals found a 1643 Civil War cannonball lodged in the trunk. Between 1643 and 1820, the cannonball and the door became entangled in the yew.
    In 2002, the Crowhurst Yew was selected as one of the '50 Great British Trees' in honor of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee.

      A big assumption by the first poster that, because the tree was there before the church was built, it had some kind of religious significance.
      There is little evidence that yew trees were venerated in pagan times.
      Yews were planted in churchyards as a western European version of the planting of cyprus trees and other evergreens around burial grounds in Mediterranean lands - the yew being the only suitable evergreen in the colder climates.
      The vast majority of yew trees found in churchyards were planted at the same time as the building of the church.
      And older ones were planted as a marker for a place of assembly by the Anglo-Saxons - eg the hundredal courts would be held beneath prominent trees.
