Description
The walls, piers, gates, and railings located east of the Church of the Holy Trinity were likely constructed in 1867 by J.P. Pritchett. These features are made of English garden wall bond brick with sandstone ashlar dressings and copings. The structure includes three rectangular-section piers to the south of the gates and four to the north, which are continuous with the walls. The coping is steeply chamfered. The wrought iron railings have spike heads and trefoil-headed principals, set into the coping. The gates are designed in a similar style, featuring a central rail and diagonal bracing.
