YieldenA village on the River Til, guarded by the earthworks of a long ruined castle. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, only an oblong motte, two large baileys and stone foundations remain of Yielden Castle, which is reputed to have been built on the site of the battle between the Romans and the Iceni in which the warrior queen Boadicea (Boudicca) was killed. One Christmas Day John Bunyan came to the village to preach in the church, as a result of which the incumbent vicar, William Bell, was removed from his post for allowing Bunyan this freedom. |
