they 'thrive on corruption' but because in old English law all villages must
supply solders and long bowmen, and all their weapons to their feudal lord
in time of wars or trouble, they had to have a safe place to allow the yew
trees to grow, churches and grave yards were mostly surrounded by strong fences
or wall and this would stop both animals and children from eating the leaves
and berries.
