St Edburgha's Church, Yardley, Medieval parish church in Yardley, England
The church features a 149-foot tower with an octagonal spire, north and south transepts forming a cross shape, and a 13th-century chancel.
Construction began in 1250, with the tower and spire added in 1461, making it the primary religious structure in Yardley until Marston Chapel in 1704.
The north aisle doorway contains a Tudor rose and pomegranate carving, representing the marriage between Prince Arthur and Catherine of Aragon.
The building maintains eight bells installed in 1950, and the organ includes 34 speaking stops, following renovations by Organ Tuning Services in 1997.
Mysterious scraped incisions at the tower base remain unexplained, while the roof timbers display a carved boss depicting the Five Wounds of Christ.
