Description
LANCASTER
SD4761SE PENNY STREET 1685-1/8/225 (East side) Walls and railings around the Church of St Thomas
GV II
4 gate piers and gates within a churchyard wall. 1840-41. By Edmund Sharpe. Sandstone ashlar and cast iron. The piers, standing 5 steps above the pavement within a recessed entrance to which the walls curve back in quadrants, are octagonal and similar in form to the turrets on the west front of the church. Each face has a shafted lancet with a continuous hoodmould under a band of dogtooth ornament which supports a pyramidal spirelet with a florid finial. On the 2 centre piers these finials have been replaced by lamps, broken at the time of survey. The cast-iron gates, which are double in the centre and single at the sides, are decorated, top and bottom, with a row of trefoils and have a cresting of little finials. The railings on the walls, which have roll-topped saddlebacked copings, have simple spearheads.
