.............. with Pontius Pilate who is rumoured to have had Scottish origins !
There are a number of very large, old yew trees in Sussex. By some estimates the one photographed by Pat at Wilmington is a relative youngster at 1600 years. The largest in the county is at Coldwaltham church & this may be about 3000 years old. (see Owen Johnson, The Sussex Tree Book, Pomegranate Press, 1998)
I would love to do a cemetery ramble of English Cemeteries. I have heard that some have been left to go wild but don't know which except for the Brookwood Cemetery which is wild in parts but they have problems with wild deer and rabbits eating most plants - so you see graves with plants being protected by chicken wire fences.
