Description
The gates, piers, and walls located to the east of the Church of Holy Trinity were likely constructed around 1869 by F.R.N. Haswell. They feature snecked sandstone walls with ashlar dressings and ashlar piers. The design includes wrought-iron gates and an arched overthrow. The walls are steeply-coped and stepped, interrupted by a pair of square gabled piers topped with cruciform fleur-de-lys finials, which also have three incised circles on their fronts. The gates have leaf-headed uprights and spiked dogbars, with circular motifs on their inner edges.
