A cemetery, a graveyard and a churchyard are often confused with each other and many people think they are the same thing or very similiar to each other. In reality, they are 3 completely separate things with 3 different definitions. This is why I have expanded 3 separate wiki articles. Amorfati00 20:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Yews in British Churchyards
editThe assertion that Yews are grown in churchyards in Britain for providing wood for long-bows is extremely dubious. I would recommend consulting Robert Hardy's Longbow, Biological Flora of the British Isles Taxus baccata (on J. Ecology website).
AFAIK (conversation with former worker at Rutland County Museum who makes longbows) most Yew suitable for longbows comes from Spain and S. France: and did in the Middle Ages too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Semudobia (talk • contribs) 15:15, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
