Yatton history
Toponymy
The origin of the name Yatton is uncertain. It may come from the Anglo-Saxon ‘gatton’ meaning ‘village on the track’ West Yatton was also known as Yatton-Kaynes in the Elizabethan era.
Pre-history
Yatton was a well-established village by Norman times. The remains of an Iron Age hill fort at Cadbury Hill have been discovered. The parish was part of the Winterstoke Hundred.
Railway
In the 1840s, the Bristol & Exeter Railway, with Isambard Kingdom Brunel as consulting engineer, was opened. It was initially leased to the Great Western Railway (GWR) but taken back into full ownership in 1849. The station was originally called Clevedon Road and renamed Yatton Junction in 1847.
20th century
In 1922 the site formerly known as ‘The Pound’ was purchased and the Yatton Parish War Memorial was erected. The village has continued to increase in size with several new developments planned or currently being constructed north of the railway station. Cadbury House Country Club is being developed to become a 60-room hotel and leisure centre.
