Yatton Court was built in 1780 on top of an older site. It was owned by John Woodhouse in the early 19th-century.[2]
The hamlet contains some brick-arched barns and old cottages, converted barns and large farmhouses and lies close to Croft Castle and its estate; the Mortimer Trail waymarked walk passes close by. The area was formerly the site of a large stone quarry but the site has been reclaimed, landscaped and replanted. The local schools are Wigmore Primary School and Wigmore High School.
