Description

The wall and gates to St Peter's churchyard, built around 1807, are made of large dressed sandstone blocks and stand approximately 1 meter high. The southern half of the wall features rounded coping, while the northern half has chamfered coping, although the original railings are now missing. There are two gateways: one in the center and another near the south end. Both gateways are flanked by tall octagonal piers designed in the Gothick style, characterized by their cusped panelled faces, moulded tops, and pinnacle caps. This structure forms a group with the Church of St Peter.
