Ilex shrub dying

Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions about why this mature ( over 20 years old ) Ilex ( of some type ? ) might be shedding leaves and dying.
Only clues I have are
Some evidence of a grey flaky material on some branches
Lots of ivy growing around the base
There is the remains of the stump of an old sycamore tree which was cut down about 7 years ago possibly within reach of the roots
Also close by a mature rhododendron shrub died with shriveled up leaves earlier this year
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
