Gateways and walls enclosing St Mary's Presbytery front garden, and adjoining walls on south side of St Mary's churchyard and St Mary's School grounds. 1880s, probably by Hadfield and Son of Sheffield, architects of St Mary's church and Presbytery (qv). Presbytery garden wall and gate-piers in orange and yellow brick with ashlar dressings, cast-iron railings and wrought-iron gates; adjoining walls in orange and yellow brick. South gateway to Presbytery has piers each with a tall brick base, chamfered ashlar shaft, and upper section with moulded ashlar band, frieze with bands of contrasting brick, and low pyramidal ashlar cap. Wrought-iron gate with alternating plain and wavy dog bars and scrollwork panels above. Dwarf wall to each side with banded brickwork and ashlar coping; arcaded railings with barley-twist columns and finials above a single top rail. C20 wooden fence adjoining to right, with similar original wrought-iron gate. 2 sections of taller coped wall stepped downhill to each side, enclosing churchyard to the west, and the rear garden of Presbytery and St Mary's School grounds to the east, with bands of contrasting orange and yellow brickwork and buttresses with single offsets. Included for group value as part of a notable group of Victorian and Edwardian educational and religious buildings built on land provided by the Heneage Estate.
