Title: St. Laurence's Church, Upton Court Road, Slough. 1978 [Go to resource]
Description: View of yew tree in churchyard that was blown down on 19th February 1978. The girth of the tree suggests that it was probably several hundred years old. Yew trees were often planted in churchyards as a mystical relic of the pagan past, dating from the time when Christianity first came to Britain. The church lychgate can be seen to the right of the photo. This is the place where a coffin would be received on arriving at the churchyard.
