Description
The gate piers and steps to a small gateway at the south-west corner of the churchyard, adjoining item 36, are likely from the late 18th century and made of red sandstone. The piers are plain and monolithic, featuring projecting bands and pyramidal caps that are inscribed with the names "William Barlow" and "William Johnson." A flight of six semi-circular steps leads up to the gateway, although the gate itself is not considered of special interest.
