Description

The Deanery's garden walls and piers, likely dating from the early 19th century, form a boundary to the front of the building. Constructed of coursed sandstone rubble, the walls are topped with an ashlar coping. The square piers are also of ashlar and feature chamfered rustication and cornices with blocking courses. The low walls curve around the garden and extend to the churchyard steps on the right. They have a low, rounded coping.
