Description

The gateway at the south side of the churchyard of the Church of St. Anne is a Grade II listed structure, likely dating from the 18th century or earlier. It is constructed with two shouldered stone posts that have round heads, which appear to be re-used from former stocks. The inner faces of the posts are slotted for rails, resembling the posts found near the lychgate.
