Heritage Lottery Fund for Ancient Yews
The Heritage Lottery Fund is supporting
an ancient yew tree campaign being
launched this year. Ancient yews are
estimated to be at least 1000 years old
and veteran yews are between 500 and
1000 years.
The campaign will be managed by The
Conservation Foundation in association
with the Church of England - 217 of the
country’s 272 ancient yews are in
churchyards.
The campaign will include the distribution
of young yews to communities and
churches to celebrate the 800 th
anniversary of Magna Carta. The young
yews have been propagated from
veteran and ancient yews that were
growing at the time of Magna Carta. It is
thought the ancient yew at Ankerwycke,
near Runnymede was where King John,
his Barons and the Bishops gathered to
June events
witness Magna Carta There will also be
small grants available for local
community and school projects for
research around their ancient or veteran
yew. Funding is also available for work
on the trees, along with guidance on their
management.
A list of trees can be found on the
website: http://www.ancient-yew.org/.
The lovely village of Blakesley is opening
a wide variety of 10 gardens for you to
enjoy. Proceeds for upkeep of St Mary's.
Delicious homemade teas and plant stall.
