This tree is thought to be a re-sprouting from an old stump, hence the status given (the actual stems are fairly young). However, there seems to be no record of an old yew here before the putative felling. For more info, see the Ancient Yew Group report here:- https://www.ancient-yew.org/yew_tree_database/old-alresford/
