LLANTYSILIO St Tysilio Diocese of St Asaph SJ1941343550 1827: An account of Llangollen and its vicinity by W.T Simpson contains the following description: ‘It is a neat little edifice, with a very pleasant churchyard, and contains nothing very ancient in the monumental way; but there are around it many venerable yew trees, with their wide spreading sombre foliage. I had the curiosity to measure one, and found it above twenty feet in girth’. 1996: The Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust recorded ‘2 yews of some considerable age, on West. Just inside perimeter wall on North, 5 other mature yews’. 2004: The only yew of considerable age grows just northwest of the church. It was a leaning hollow fragment with an internal stem, and a girth of 14' 1'' around the base. The tree was inundated with ivy and any evidence that it might once have been larger was hidden in the long grass. Foliage was thin and there were many yellow leaves. It was Andrew Morton’s 2009 Trees of the Celtic Saints that enticed me to revisit. He wrote that ‘at first appearance the male yew looks insignificant, but on closer inspection the remains of a much larger base can be found in the ground surrounding the remaining piece’. July 2014: I was informed that a heavy fall of snow had caused the yew to lean even further. It has been neatly cut off at a point which would have been at a height of about 15ft, and as can be seen in the photographs has made a remarkable recovery, with much vibrant green foliage showing that its roots remain well connected with the ground. In a now well tended churchyard it was possible to see some of the remnants of the tree that was lost long ago. Girth around all of these was about 28ft, confirming this to be a fragment of an ancient yew. © Tim Hills - Ancient Yew Group - 2019 .

The medieval hall house of Plas Uchaf is not named, but its buildings are included just below Plas Isaf. Cymer was an ancient name for the lands within which Hafod lies, around the cymer or confluence of the Rivers Alwen and Dyfrdwy (or Dee). A 1293 document2 records the townships of Cymer and Llangar as together having 18 taxed tenants - and both these townships lay, somewhat confusingly, within Llangar parish. The Barons of Cymer, a branch of the Barons of Edeirnion,3 once lived at Plas Uchaf, 4 and then from around 1600 at Gwerclas. Hafod`s site was evidently important at early date, as surface workings of a medieval quarry, just south of the present quarry and house, were found by the geologist E.
