Millennium Yew tree, Church of St. Paul, Bently Common, Essex - Millennium Trees on Waymarking.com

In late 1999 the Conservation Foundation distributed 7,000 young yews propagated from 43 of the UK’s oldest living trees and these were planted to celebrate the new millennium throughout the UK.

From the Conservation Foundation website:

"The Foundation distributed the Millennium Yews to churches, parishes, schools, colleges, hospitals, community centres, ancient woodlands and public parks, many at specially organised services in English and Welsh cathedrals in 1999. Grown from trees of between one and two thousand years old, the English Yew (Taxus baccata) was chosen as a living symbol of celebration which reflected permanence and endurance, as well as the abundance and vitality of life."
