About Yelden
Yelden is a village in Bedfordshire, near the borders with Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. There has been much argument over the correct spelling the village name over recent years and it still remains a matter of confusion for those trying to find their way to the village. Currently the 'correct' spelling officially used by the county is 'Yielden' although some other neighbouring counties seem not to have been told. Modern postal systems generally record it as 'Yielden'. However, depending on which direction you approach from you will find that the name of the village is spelt differently on various sign posts.
Yelden lies on the River Til which feeds into the Great Ouse valley and is about 70m above sea level. It is approximately 14 miles north of Bedford. The centre piece of the village is the Castle Mound or Yielden Castle the site of a Norman motte-and-baileycastle. The Castle Mound, is a significant archaeological site and one of the most interesting of its type in the county. It was the site of a Norman Motte and Bailey Castle that from Domesday to the 13th century was the stronghold of the Trailly family. It is an imposing feature with a central conical mound rising to about 40 feet above the bottom of its north moat. There have been suggestions that prior to Norman times it was occupied by the Iceni, an ancient tribe of Britains and that they battled with the Romans at the site but opinions differ as to the accuracy of this assertion. In any event records show that by 1360 it had fallen in disuse and ruin.
The Chequers Public House, The age of the pub is unknown but the first landlords appear to date back to 1739. In 1939 James Leonard George became licensee and was still there in 1950 when a dreadful fire took hold and destroyed the old thatched property. The present building of brick and tile was then built.
