Roger Sweet's Pictures of Yelford

The Manor House, Yelford

Yelford comprises little more than the manor house, a tiny church, a farm and a cottage or two. The manor house is a timber-framed building with a moat. It was altered in about 1600, when a first floor was inserted in what until then had been the great hall and a great stone chimneystack was added. In the 1970s the house was described as "The best, and certainly the most picturesque, large timber-framed house in the county."

The Church of St. Nicholas ans St. Swithun, Yelford

Yelford comprises little more than the manor house, a tiny church, a farm and a cottage or two. The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas and St. Swithun, may have been founded as a chapel by 1221. It was completely rebuilt in about 1500 and was restored at some time between 1869 and 1873, which may be when the bellcote was added.
