Description
The front wall and gate piers in front of the Old Vicarage were likely built around 1865. They are made of rough-faced stone with tooled dressings, except for the right end, which is constructed from rubble. The wall stands approximately 2 metres high and features gabled coping. The gate piers are broad and square, with a plinth and low pyramidal caps. To the right, there is a gate that has late 20th-century piers designed in the same style. This structure is included for its group value.
