Description
At the foot of the steps leading to the churchyard of St Thomas the Martyr, there are a pair of low stone piers that likely date from the early 19th century. These rusticated piers support a slender, semi-circular arched wrought-iron overthrow that features decorative scrolls and a small lamp at the top. The piers and lamp form a group with the Church of St Thomas the Martyr.
