Walls, Railings, Gate Piers And Gates To Former United Reformed Church

The walls, railings, gate piers, and gates of the former United Reformed Church in Headingley were constructed around 1864, possibly designed by Cuthbert Brodrick. They are made of rock-faced gritstone and ashlar, featuring wooden gates and cast-iron railings. The wall on the south and east sides of the church is approximately 1 meter high and runs for about 80 meters. The wall along Headingley Lane steps down with the ground slope and has chamfered coping, although the railings are missing.

At the western end and corner, there are gate piers that stand about 2 meters high, with chamfered plinths and pointed capstones that have lucarnes. The double gates feature diagonal boards and octagonal pierced panels, secured with strap hinges. The wall along Cumberland Road continues uphill from the church's east porch, where some railings remain. These consist of groups of three twisted rails linked by top and bottom trefoil-pierced bands, adorned with tooth-like finials.

At the northern end of the east side, there are gate piers at the church entrance, which have chamfered shafts topped with squat pyramid caps. The gate and railing leading to the path and steps include twisted rails, trefoil-pierced bands, and pointed bud finials.
