Although Ycldham Oak and the Cowththorpc Oak arc both about a thousand years old, the oak cannot boast of holding the premier position for lasting qualities among British trees. This distinction belongs to the yew. It is said, for instance, lhat a -yew at Battle, in Sussex, must have been a very old tree when William the Conqueror landed. It is close on 30 feet in girth. The yews at Norbury Park are said to be two thousand years old, so that they were well grown when Julius Caesar landed in 55 B.C. Gilbert White, who wrote the "History of Solbwrne," believed that the famous yew in Selbornc Churchyard was at least as old as the church itself, which goes back to Saxon times, and there as many yews along the Pilgrims' Way between Winchester and Canterbury which, could they but speak, could describe the scenes which are the subject of Chaucer's poems.
