There's something in most British villages older than the church. Older than the English language. You've walked past it a thousand times. And nobody told you what it was. 🌳 The yew tree. Some are 2,000 years old. Some are closer to 5,000. The Fortingall Yew in Scotland. One of the oldest living things in Europe. They were sacred before Christianity arrived. When the new religion came, they didn't cut the trees down. They built the churches next to them. The church came to the tree. Not the other way around. Some are hollow. The heartwood rots away. But the tree keeps growing from the outside. A tree can be hollow for centuries and still be alive. Yew wood made the English longbow. Agincourt. Crécy. The weapon that changed European warfare. The wood came from churchyards. Yew is poisonous. Every part of it. Livestock can't go near it. That's why they survived in churchyards when they were cut down everywhere else. The wall saved them. The Ankerwycke Yew. Near Runnymede. Two and a half thousand years old. Magna Carta may have been sealed beneath it. The tree was already a thousand years old when that happened. You can touch them. They're not behind glass. They're in your village. Walk up to one on Sunday morning. Put your hand on the bark. That tree was alive before Julius Caesar crossed the Channel. And it's still growing. Still standing in the same churchyard. Still alive. Still yours. Sources and more available at Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧
