Walls, Gatepiers And Gates To The Churchyard Of St Peter

The walls, gatepiers, and gates surrounding the churchyard of St Peter date from the 19th century, although some parts may be older. The late 19th-century gates are made of ashlar red sandstone. The structure forms a nearly complete circuit around the churchyard, with a gap leading to the new burial ground. The low wall along the street features a triangular coping, while the rest of the walls have a semi-circular coping. The walls curve into a gateway in front of the west door of the church. The square gatepiers have chamfered edges and are topped with a moulding beneath a pyramidal cap and finial. The pair of iron gates has vertical spears with lancets at the top of the panels, along with a lockrail that includes quatrefoils and dogbars, which also feature similar lancet heads. This structure is listed for its group value.
