Churchyard Wall, Gates And Gateways To North Of Roman Catholic Church Of St Giles

The churchyard wall, gates, and gateways located to the north of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Giles were built between 1841 and 1846 by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin for the Earl of Shrewsbury. Constructed from red Hollington sandstone ashlar, the wall features a deep, steeply pitched coping with roll moulding at the apex. The gateways, positioned towards the ends of the wall, have hipped solid stone rooflets with a fleuron eaves band supported by corbels. These roofs also have roll moulded ridges and twin lucarnes at the center topped with a crucifix finial. Square pillars support the roofs above wrought iron gates, which are adorned with large quatrefoils over narrowly spaced uprights that have poppy head finials.
