Description
The gate piers, walls, and gates located south of the Church of St. Edmund were likely constructed around 1879 by C. Hodgson Fowler. They feature sandstone ashlar gate piers and wall coping set on brick walls, with wrought iron gates. The two piers are square at the boundary walls and half-octagonal towards the gates, topped with steeply-sloped octagonal caps that have pointed coping at a lower pitch. The dwarf walls behind the piers flank the drive to the church and have low gabled coping. There is one wide gate and one narrow gate, both with spiral-headed uprights and dogbars, along with a plain stay connecting the wider gate on the west to the drive wall.
