Description
The churchyard wall with hearse house and entrance gateway dates from the 18th century and incorporates earlier materials. It is built from rubble with stone dressings and features a Lakeland slate roof on the hearse house. The wall has arched coping that rises on either side of the gateway, which is flanked by square piers with attached jambs and low pyramidal caps. To the left, the wall rises again to the hearse house, which has a window with two pointed-arched lights. Beyond the gateway, the wall slopes down and connects to St Andrew's Cottage. The section of wall measuring 17 meters to the right of the gateway includes the footings of an earlier structure.
The rear of the hearse house displays large, roughly-shaped angle quoins and has boarded double doors beneath a pent roof. Adjacent to the hearse house on the west side is the pavement of a communal oven known as the 'King's Oven', which was first recorded in 1310 and last used in the 19th century.
