Churchyard Wall, Piers And Gates To St Thomas Of Canterbury

The churchyard wall, piers, and gates to St Thomas of Canterbury are located on the north-west side of the churchyard and date from the late 19th century. Constructed from squared snecked sandstone and cast-iron, the wall retains the churchyard, which is one meter above street level. It features roughly rounded flush coping stones. There are a pair of square ashlar gate piers with tooled raised panels on the sides and two-stage pyramidal heads. The cast-iron gate includes dogbars, roundels between double lower and upper rails, and a panel decorated with foliar-cusped quatrefoils. There is also a pair of gates of similar design without piers, located opposite the north porch. The wall continues south-east along Parkgate Road.
