Description

This listing describes two lengths of wall that meet at right angles, dating from the 19th century. The walls are constructed of finely coursed ironstone rubble and feature raked ashlar coping. At the angles and ends of the walls, there are piers topped with pinnacles that have crockets, which may have been salvaged from the nearby church during its restoration.
