What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Yell, Mid Yell, St John's Church and Churchyard as Church (19th Century) (1832), Churchyard (19th Century), War Memorial(s) (20th Century) (1922). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St John's Church on Yell is linked to the tradition of St John the Baptist, a widely venerated saint in Scottish and Christian folklore, often associated with healing and protection. While no specific holy well is mentioned in the context, such sites were historically connected to saintly intercessions and seasonal rituals, particularly around midsummer.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
