Re: Ancient Yews by astronomer on Monday, 19 September 2005

Very interesting. I visited Brailsford church, east of Ashbourne, on Saturday to see the 9th-10thC Mercian cross. Although the church is late medieval,16thC or later(there is a date of 1627 above the S doorway) the Yew standing opposite the cross suggests a probable age of perhaps 1000-1200 yrs judging by an estimated girth of no more than 20-22feet, if extrapolating the list is valid. This would fit with the likely age of the cross.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
