Yardley nr. Birmingham / Gerlei / Yerdeley

There is an entry for this Yardley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP1285/yardley/] [accessed 22 September 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1890) writes: "The church has characteristics of the 13th century, and in the 14th and 15th good work was done to it", but mentions no font in it. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP1349886308] mentions no font in it, which usually means it is modern. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "No mention occurs of the church of Yardley until the 13th century [...] The 13th-century remains include the south doorway, the south wall of the chancel, which contains a lancet window, and a similar window in the north wall of the vestry, formerly in the chancel. They point to a simple church of that date, consisting probably of chancel and nave only. In the 14th century north and south transepts seem to have been added and the chancel lengthened eastwards, and in the 15th century the west tower was built and the north aisle added. In recent years the south transept and the east end of the chancel were rebuilt and the vestry added"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry.
