                            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.
