A guided walk around Old Yardley Village

It has been a designated Conservation Area since 1969. Join local historian Mike Byrne for a gentle walk around the village, with the opportunity to learn about the buildings’ historical significance, including how one Vicar wanted to demolish them and another irrevocably altered the area around the Church.
