Yews In Churchman'S,

The object of planting yews in
churchyards has been much disputed.
Some antiquarians have asserted that
the custom arose in order to supply
bows for the purpose of archery, but
this idea is in the highest degree I'M
likely. Gilbert White suggested that
one object might have been to serve
as "a screen to churches by their
thick foliage from the violence of
winds They might also, he thought,
have been placed as a shelter to the
congregation assembling before the
church doors were opened, or as an
emblem of mortality by their funeral
appearance. Perhaps rather, as the
learned Ray suggested, the yew was
planted in churchyards because, from
its evergreen foliage and the great age
to which it attained, it was regarded
as a symbol of Immortality.
