St Edburgha's Church (Birmingham)

 Grade I Listed (UK), anglican church

St Edburgha's Church (also known as Old Yardley Church) is a parish church in the Yardley area of Birmingham, England. It is a Grade I listed building and a part of the Old Yardley conservation area.

Dating back to the 13th century, the church 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.

The nave, north aisle, and Becket Chapel date to the 14th and 15th centuries. The church tower and spire date to the 1461, though the central section of the spire dates to 1898 as a result of restoration work carried out in that year. It is believed that the church spire may have been built by the same master mason who built the church spires at Sheldon and Kings Norton.[3] Inscriptions on the stonework at Sheldon give his name as Henry Ulm, it also records that the tower was built in 1461 fitting the time frame for the church spire at St Edburgha's Church. The church is 149 feet (45 m) tall. St. Edburgha's remained the only church in Yardley until Marston Chapel was consecrated in 1704.

The roof of the church above the nave was replaced between April and December 1926. Services were first held in the churchyard, however, gnats made this difficult so they were then moved to the parish hall.
