Summary
edit| Description |
English: A storm damaged and fallen ancient Yew Tree (taxus baccata) in the churchyard of Saint Andrews parish church which is located in the village of Bacton, Norfolk, England.Yew trees were planted in churchyards from ancient times as the wood was used for making the English longbow. The trees were also planted in the churchyards so they would not poison grazing livestock as the bark and wood is deadly when eaten. They were also planted in churchyards so that farmers made sure that their animals didn’t stray into them. Yew wood is distinctly red and white, especially when the trunk is freshly cut. |
