I called it the Pulpit Yew for obvious reasons, research continues locally, it may already have a local name, update if necessary.
It is known by some locally to be one of the 'Seven Wonders of Wales'.
Dowsing for energy 'Ley lines' revealed this church to be at the convergence of two energy lines, indicating a pre-christian interest.
