Yorton is a small village in the north centre of the county between Shrewsbury and Wem.
Yorton is a very small settlement consisting of a small number of houses surrounded by farms. Yorton has had a long history though, a priest is mentioned being at Yorton in the Domesday Book. Despite it's small size, Yorton has a railway station though, the station also serves the larger village of Clive.
The parish church of St Mary in Broughton (the parish Yorton belongs to) was built in the late 1850s. replacing an earlier medieval church which had suffered from damp. The Norman font of the original church were reused in the new one. The church is built mostly from stone and has some Gothic features.
