The Crowhurst Yew is a yew tree in the churchyard of St George's Church in Crowhurst, Surrey, England.

It is thought to be about 4,000 years old. Its girth was measured in 1630 as Шаблон:Convert. It was mentioned by John Evelyn in 1664, and John Aubrey mentioned it in his Natural History and Antiquities of the County of Surrey, published in 1718–19.[1]

It is a male tree, situated east-north-east of the church, and its girth was measured in 2013 as Шаблон:Convert at height Шаблон:Convert.[2]

There is a hollow interior space, with a door about Шаблон:Convert high.[2] When the hollow space was created in 1820, a cannonball was discovered embedded in the side, probably from a nearby skirmish during the English Civil War. At one time the Parish Council met at the tree.[1][3]

It was designated by the Tree Council as one of the 50 Great British Trees in the United Kingdom, to mark the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2002.[4]
