Description
Church gate and railings, located east of the church, date from the 19th century. The gate is made of cast iron and features barley sugar piers topped with segmented ball finials. It has three rails, with the upper pair decorated with fleur de lys. In front of the gate, there are three steps with handrails on either side, supported by round cast iron balusters that have square bases and heads, along with annular shaft rings. To the right of the gate is an unusual cast iron screen, which has top and bottom rails connected by continuous elongated shapes with central circles. This structure is listed for its group value only.
