Description

The gate piers at the north entrance to the churchyard of the Church of All Saints are a pair of structures dating from the early to mid-18th century, though they have been altered. Made of sandstone, each pier is approximately 0.5 meters square and stands 3.5 meters high. They feature a rusticated design, with a moulded cornice present on the west pier but missing from the east pier. Both piers have peaked tops. These gate piers form a group with the Church of All Saints.
