Description
The walls, gates, and piers in front of the Church of St. Cuthbert were built around 1850 by John Dobson. They feature sandstone rubble walls topped with ashlar coping and square ashlar coarse sandstone piers. The coursed rubble walls have low-sloped coping and end in square piers with pyramidal copings. The gate piers are square and chamfered, adorned with blind trefoil decoration beneath roll-moulded gabled coping. The gates consist of wrought iron railings with spear finials, connected by Gothic-arched bars that display floral decoration, along with cast-iron dogbars featuring spearheads.
