Description
The iron railings surrounding the churchyard at the Church of St Martin were made in the 19th century and are crafted from cast iron. They feature ornate Fleur-de-lis heads and extend from the northwest corner of the churchyard, running past the church and continuing to the southernmost corner of the churchyard, following the line of the footpath. On the west side of the footpath, the railings begin at the northern corner of St. Martin's Cottage garden and extend to the southernmost part of the garden, which is part of the churchyard.
