There seems to be little doubt that,in it's early hitory,the church of St.Helen,Darley Dale was of considerable importance.Indeed,even before Christianity was known in the area it would appear that the site had some mystical significance. One of the reasons for the siting of an alter,and later a church was the custmaty use of the place for religios,albeit pagon,observances.And it seems likely that the site of St.Helen's was just such a place-likely because,for one thing here is one of the oldest yew trees in the country,believed to have stood here for 2000 years. Perhaps it is the sombre shade,the mystic darkness of the yew tree's foliage that has caused it to be associated with observances of a religious nature.A mature yew would give shelter the year round and growing in the open-as distinct from being plated in the confines of a churchyard-it's broad flat crown and wide-spreading branches would provide protection that few other trees could offer.It's musky aroma has its own occult connotations while the mass of red berries it bears in an otherwise colourless witer woodland,would create a natural focal point. The Ancient Britons most probably held their ceremonies in the shade of the yew,the funeral pyre of the Romans for their fallen comrades is believed to have been here;very likely the first Christian alter in the area was erected under the shelter of its branches,many years before the first Saxon masons began work on a more permanent structure.

This ancient Yew tree 'bleeds' an unidentifiable red liquid that has baffled scientists and arborist for years. A Welsh legend states that a man was hung from this tree and it has been bleeding ever since. Legend also has it that the tree will continue to bleed until a Welshman sits on the throne in Nevern Castle.

The church warden's accounts of 1713 listed-For Yew tree and fetching it £0-3s-06pence and for setting it 6pence. The yew's reputation for long life is due to the unique way in which the tree grows. Its branches grow down into the ground to form new stems, which then rise up around the old central growth as separate but linked trunks. After a time, they cannot be distinguished from the original tree. So the yew has always been a symbol of death and rebirth, the new that springs out of the old, and a fitting tree for us to study at the beginning of this new year. As the days now grow longer with the beginning of a new solar cycle, we move into the future on the achievements of the past, new creativity springs forth grounded in the accomplishments of " the year gone by.
