Yattendon is an estate village and civil parish 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Newbury in the county of Berkshire, England. The M4 motorway passes through the fields of the village which lie 0.5 miles (800 m) south and below the elevations of its cluster. The village is privately owned and is "part of the 9,000 acre estate owned by the Iliffes, former press barons", part of the Yattendon Group.[2]
Geography
Yattendon stretches from Everington in the west to the hamlet of Burnt Hill in the east and the woodland just east of Yattendon Court, including Mumgrove Copse, Bushy Copse, Clack's Copse and Gravelpit Copse. The M4 motorway forms most of its southern boundary and some of the houses on the northern edge of Frilsham are actually in Yattendon. The River Pang flows through the west of the parish. It was in the hundred of Faircross, which was of little consequence after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and effectively ceased to function after 1886.
History
The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was built around 1450 and was "restored in 1858, 1881 and a spire was added by Alfred Waterhouse in 1896".[3] The village has had a shop since the 1600s. According to the Estate, the Iliffe's took over the operation in 2014 and "Edward Iliffe, son of Lord Iliffe, was appointed Postmaster".[4] William Burham, a saddle and harness maker had a shop in the village from 1901 until his death in the early 1960s. A collection of his leather working tools is in the Museum of English Rural Life.[5]
Amenities
Yattendon has a shop, post office, garage, pub/hotel, hairdressers, blacksmith, primary school, Montessori school, tennis courts and brewery as well as houses and cottages rented to tenants.[6] Yattendon has 31 Grade II Listed buildings, as well as the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul which is Grade I.[7]
