"The ancient yew tree in the churchyard is probably at least 700 years old and may even predate the church" (Great Comberton - A Landscape History By Kate Collingwood). "Its clean bole and large girth makes it a formidable presence in this churchyard" http://www.ancient-yew.org/treeInfo.php?link=1900 , which gives a dimension of 495 cm for its girth measured at 2 feet.
