| 説明 | This is the Church of St Edburgha's in Yardley (in the old Yardley village). It is a Grade I listed building.It is a part of the Old Yardley Conservation area.The church dates back to the 13th century, and it was constructed by Aston Church as part of the Diocese of Lichfield. It is dedicated to King Alfred's granddaughter, Edburgha. This is unusual in that Yardley was mentioned as being the property of Pershore Abbey in King Edgar of England's Charter of 972.St Edburgha's Church, Yardley - wikipediaPrincipally of the C14 and C15 but of C13 origin. A substantial sandstone parishchurch with nave, aisles, transepts and chancel. Lofty west tower of the C15,crenellated, in 4 stages and with diagonal buttresses to the crocketed hexagonalspire. The south wall of the chancel retains C13 work and the south doorway,giving onto the C15 timber-framed porch, is also of C13 build. The church was muchenlarged in the C14 when the north and south transepts were added, the nave largelyrebuilt and the chancel probably lengthened. The tower and north aisle are the C15additions. The south wall of the chancel contains a very narrow lancet flanked byC15 2-light window and there is an ogee arched doorway. C14 chancel arch. Thenorth chancel wall was rebuilt in 1890 when the chancel was lengthened and thevestry added. But part of the north-east window is probably medieval. The northarcade has three C15 splayed arch bays but the east bay is the original C14 transeptbay. The south nave wall windows are 2-light C14, similar to the probably resetones in the north aisle. The C15 porch over the south doorway has elaboratetraceried sides to the oak frame and curved bargeboards. The pulpit was given in1627 and has C17 panelling. Fine west window of the Last Supper by John Hardmanand Company of 1892. Some fine monuments from the C15 to the early C19, that of theRev Dr Henry Greswolde + 1700 in the chancel particularly unusual: a pedimented,curtained cave containing marble statues of the parson and his wife, the recessframed by medallions of their 11 children - the whole flanked by festoons.Church of St Edburgha - Heritage GatewayChurch looks nice in the snow, although is hard to get it all in one shot.Yardley and the church used to be in the county of Worcestershire, before it joined Birmingham, and later the West Midlands.
