Churchyard Wall Around Old Church Of St Mary

The churchyard wall surrounding the old Church of St. Mary dates from the 18th century or earlier. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a flat slab coping. The wall stands approximately 1.2 metres high on three sides of the rectangular churchyard, with a lower retaining wall along the riverbank to the east. Near the west end of the south wall, there are two monolith piers that support a wrought-iron gate, which has looped bars and knob-topped dogbars. To the immediate east of the gate, there is a stone stile. At the time of the survey, the wall was in poor condition, partly due to the removal of re-set medieval cross slabs. The wall is included for its group value.
