Yardley
Yardley
has a long proud history and was referred to as early as
972 in King Edgar's Charter, where it was named Gyrdeah.
Yardley is also named in the Doomsday Book. The parish of
Yardley , historically was part of Worcestershire, and
became Yardley Rural District under the local Government
Act of 1894, being added to Birmingham and Warwickshire in
1911, and at the heart of the area is the Grade 1 listed
13th century church of St Edburgha.
Old
Yardley
village
and
park
is
one
of
Birmingham's
most
significant
Conservation
Areas,
retaining
much
of
the
character and atmosphere of a rural village that can still
be seen today within a large city.
