St Edburgha's Church

Built between the 13th and 15th centuries the church forms the centrepiece of the old village of Yardley. There is a farm, now converted to residential properties, a blacksmith, cottages and a Tudor School House. Although in a suburb of Birmingham the old village is surrounded by parkland giving it a very rural feel. During works a few years ago a portion of fictive paneling was discovered. While common in residential properties this is only one of two such decorations known in churches. The tower will be open on Sunday afternoon, weather permitting. Tours of the village will be available at 11.00 am & 2.00 pm on Saturday and 2.00 pm on Sunday. Booking advisable on 0121 291 0401.
Refreshments will be available including our ever-popular home-made cakes.
