A list of the most significant yews in the Dioceses of the Church of England April 2012 The majority of our oldest yews are the responsibility of vicar, churchwarden, Parochial Church Council and sometimes Parish Council. Should any of these seek to fell an ancient or veteran yew their request is considered in the first instance by the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC), who in turn advise the Chancellor / Archdeacon / Bishop whether a faculty should be granted. Each DAC is being sent a list of their most important yews. We consider it vital that they are aware of the oldest trees in the British Isles, and offer our advice to any DAC that is being asked for permission to fell or carry out any large scale work on an ancient or veteran yew.
