Gate Piers and Boundary Walls to Churchyard Of St Mary

The gate piers and boundary walls to the churchyard of St Mary were built in 1827 and are made of coursed sandstone with curved copings. The original iron railings have been removed from the north and south walls, although some post-World War II railings remain on the east wall. The north wall is adjacent to the 18th-century Church Inn, which is also listed. An additional section of boundary wall was constructed in 1886 to the south of the original wall when the graveyard was enlarged; this wall is also made of coursed sandstone and features large, square carved blocks for copings with tool mark decoration.

At the north-east corner of the churchyard, there are openwork cast-iron gate piers with flat tops, colonettes at the corners, and latticework in between. The 20th-century double and single gates between the piers are not included in the listing. To the south of the gate piers, there is a raised section of the east boundary wall. Attached to the north side of the gate piers is a section of red brick wall from 1827, which is the same height as the sandstone walls and has sandstone copings. The west face of this wall features a large stone with an incised oval shape and inscription dated 1827, commemorating the extension of the churchyard and its enclosure.
