Gate Piers, Steps, Walls and War Memorial Lychgate

The site includes late 18th or early 19th century stone gate piers with stone steps, along with walls and a 1922 War Memorial lychgate.

The gate piers and steps are constructed of stone. The lychgate is of timber and ashlar construction, with stone steps and piers, a clay tile roof, and a flagstone floor.

The gate piers feature panelled shafts below a frieze, moulded cornice, and hemispherical caps. The War Memorial lychgate is approached by seven stone steps flanked by splayed ashlar walls with coping and steel handrails.

The lychgate is rectangular with gabled entrances facing the road (southwest) and the church (northeast). It has low ashlar walls and piers with moulded caps, coping, and plinths. The four corner piers support the pegged timber-framed walls and roof, with round arches to the entrances and decorative moulded elements. The arch facing the road is inscribed: THESE ARE THEY WHICH CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION. The arch facing the church is inscribed: GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS. To either side of the road-facing entrance, timber columns with Ionic capitals and floreate detailing support a jettied gable end, on which WELLINGTON TOWN WAR MEMORIAL is inscribed on the moulded eaves. The gable facing the church has a cross to the apex.

The upper level of the interior walls features fixed bronze plaques. Two plaques on the southwest wall read: TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE FOLLOWING WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES/ IN THE SERVICE OF THE EMPIRE DURING/ THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ AND IN THANKFULNESS TO ALMIGHTY GOD/ FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF OTHERS/ (NAMES). A smaller plaque between them reads: TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN/ THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY/ (NAMES)/ TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES DURING/ THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945/ (NAMES). A central upper plaque on the northeast wall reads: TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN/ THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY/ (NAMES)/ TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING WHO/ LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES DURING/ THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945/ (NAMES).
