Old Yells Yard
R IC H I N H I S T ORY This collection of just nine new homes has been carefully designed in line with adjacent 18th-century listed buildings within the Fairford Conservation Area. Adjacent to the development lies an open meadow and the Grade II listed Ivy Villa - an 18th-century home closely linked to the Yells family, a significant part of Fairford’s history. The site began as a small agricultural holding in the 18th century and was later used by the Yells family as a base for their building firm from 1858 to 1978, giving rise to the name ‘Yells Yard.’

The family constructed and worked on many of Fairford’s homes, leaving a lasting legacy in the town. A recent family member recalls the post-war boom years, when the business shifted from agricultural work to building:
They built a huge number of properties in the area, including Burdocks & Palmer Hall. They worked at The Retreat for Dr A C King-Turner & flourished after the war. – Yells family member
