Description
The wall on the south side of the churchyard in Blanchland dates from the early 13th century, with some sections added in the 17th century and later. It is constructed of coursed stone with dressings. The south elevation, which faces the garden of the Lord Crewe Arms, features a tall section on the left that connects to the Lord Crewe Arms and includes a chamfered plinth, a corbel that supported a former cloister roof, and a blocked lancet window above. To the right, next to a small 20th-century pent shed, there is a blocked 17th-century doorway with a flattened triangular head. At the far right, the wall connects to the church of St. Mary, and at the base of the wall, there are hollow-chamfered jambs of a medieval processional doorway. The north elevation, which faces the churchyard and is at a higher ground level than the south, displays a tall section with a double trefoiled piscina and a round pilaster.
