Description
St Leonard's Church Gateway is a gateway consisting of a wall, arch, and entrance gates, dated 1824. It is constructed from ashlar stone with a facing of coursed rubble. The central pair of gates, which may be later additions, are made of cast iron and feature spearhead finials, set beneath a 4-centred arch that has a hood moulding and a band. The coping includes a central parapet that carries the remains of a finial and a cast-iron plaque. The arch and its piers are flanked by a recessed wall with a drip course and coping, which ends in piers topped with pyramidal coping stones. There are buttresses at the rear of the arch piers, and a figurehead is present at the keystone of the rear arch. An inscription commemorates the gift of the burial ground to the parish by the Clive family in 1824.
