Description

The gate piers, gates, and wall enclosing The Old School and Llanyblodwel Post Office were built around 1850 by Reverend John Parker. They are constructed from snecked sandstone rubble topped with embattled ashlar coping, and feature wrought-iron gates. The wall surrounds The Old School and Llanyblodwel Post Office, with a shorter section at right angles that separates the two. The gate piers for The Old School have tops shaped like helm roofs, and the gates display a lierne vaulting pattern similar to the gates at the porch of the Church of St. Michael.
