    G1 Four Yews - crown lift over lych-gate to give 1 to 1.5m clearance, crown lift over road and pavement to satisfy highway requirements and heavily crown lift on church side to improve light to area Note - The above pruning on the church side would leave a few large wounds (up to 200mm diameter) but there is little option but it is likely the trees will easily cope T2 Irish Yew - (increasing damage to monuments) - Reduce to small collection of central stems 1 to 1.5m tall to allow to sprout as Yew shrub and reduce further damage to graves T3 Norway Maple - (significant structural defects - consider removal in next ten to twenty years) - Heavily reduce on church and neighbour's sides to reduce the risk of major failures Note - This too will leave some large wounds but the alternative if sections fail could be significantly more harmful to the tree T4 Copper Beech - Heavily reduce on church and neighbour's sides to give more light to neighbour's garden and reduce from the church G5 Ash group - Crown lift to give approximately 4m ground clearance, remove major dead wood and damaged branches and thin lower crown by up to 20% T6 Multi-stemmed Ash - (very poor form and oppressive to neighbours with little appropriate pruning options available) - Fell
