Description
The churchyard wall and gateway located east and south of the Church of St. Aidan are of medieval and 18th century origin. The structure features squared stone and random rubble, with ashlar piers and wrought-iron gates. The east wall is primarily constructed of squared stone and stands approximately 6 feet high. There is a section about 15 yards long, east of the church, that includes a chamfered plinth and large medieval squared stone, which is believed to be the remains of The Master of Bamburgh's tower. The gateway in the south-east corner is marked by square corniced gatepiers topped with ball finials, while the gates themselves feature a boss with decorative spearhead finials.
