"Yonder" is an older English word that means "over there." It isn't commonly used in normal conversation. It is only used when someone is trying to sound formal. I am unsure if this is commonly used in British English, but it's not a commonly used word in American English. Ex: The house is just down yonder. Ex: My favorite store is in the town yonder.
