About the Timber
Yew is one of the hardest softwoods and has a good straight grain and a yellowish colour. This is one of the oldest living trees and are often found in Churchyards, where is a number of cases are older than the actual church itself and thought that they can live to 3000 years old although those over 1500 years are more common. As well as being used for fine furniture and cabinet making, particularly as a veneer it was also was the main timber used for Longbows during the Middle Ages.
Folk Lore
According to popular belief, it was beneath a Yew tree, aged over 2500 years old, at Runnymead called the Ankerwycke, that King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn and in some versions of the story he might have proposed to her under this tree.
