Churchyard Wall To High Street, School Lane And Southbank

The churchyard wall, located along High Street, School Lane, and Southbank in Great Budworth, dates from the late medieval period, the 18th century, and the mid-19th century. It is constructed from sandstone and brick. The wall likely originates from the late medieval period, featuring squared coursed rubble sandstone with steeply-weathered roll coping situated between the lychgate on High Street and the Old School House on School Lane. To the east of the Old School House, there is 18th-century brickwork with plain stone coping that drops in quadrant steps. The wall includes plain stone piers that support secondary iron gates leading to School Lane. Additionally, there is a wall of coursed rubble sandstone, probably from the late medieval period, located to the south of the lychgate along Southbank, which contains a water trough that was formerly supplied from the churchyard, set in an arched recess. Finally, the south side of the churchyard along Southbank features a wall made of two courses of large stone slabs, likely from the mid-19th century.
