Description
The churchyard walls, gate piers, and gates at the Church of St George were likely built between 1826 and 1828 by Francis Goodwin. They are constructed from sandstone ashlar and feature cast-iron gates. The churchyard is enclosed by dwarf stone walls on the north, west, and south sides, and part of the east side. Each side has a pair of octagonal gate piers that have chamfered plinths, buttressed angles, and traceried Gothic panels. The caps of the piers are adorned with carved shields on the sides, and the gates are made of cast iron with Perpendicular-traceried top panels.
