St Edburgha's Church, Yardley

N

Nicola C

proper brummie kid
Morning everyone, yesterday we went Autumn picking collecting leaves and conkers etc to make an autumn candle and we found ourselves walking around Old Yardley in the Churchyard of St Edburgha's Church. I know the headstones were removed but I can't find information on if the bodies were removed or if they remain in the churchyard. Also the story of the headstone in the corner near the wall on its own.
Kind regards
Nicky.

Thread 'St Edburgha's Church Yardley'

I joint this site mostly for family research but I now find myself interested in history, and I was reading an article in the evening mail about queens park in yardley and the lovely church st edburgha's, I didn't realise that it was so old it was completed in 1461 and was dedicated to king alfreds grandaughter and next to the church is a trust school thought to date back to 1512 but was no longer a school in 1908 and is now used as parish rooms, I have been to many weddings there and have never noticed the school so I must go and have a look next week. My mom and dad were married there too.
