The remarkable Beltingham Yew (oldest of three in the churchyard) is at least 900 years old, although legend has it that St Cuthbert preached under it in the 7th century. Suggestions that it might be as much as 2000 years old cannot, however, be substantiated. It is held together to prevent it collapsing under its great age and weight by three adjustable steel bands.

It is currently standing as a candidate for the Woodland Trust's competition to find England's Tree of the Year, 2020.
