Yew at Ankerwyke
The yew grows N of priory ruins . After a period of uncertainty the land is now in ownership, which should ensure the tree's future care. Site type: National Trust


Another is the Ankerwyke Yew near the Thames River in Buckinghamshire.
Alan Meredith has shown, to the satisfaction of many historians,
that this was the place were the historical Magna Carta
was signed after 9 days of talk between King
John and the Barons of England, who had many complaints
about the way the country was run.
Britain has never had a constitution and the
Magna Carta is the closest thing we have to bill of rights.
