Description
The wall of St. Nicholas's Churchyard, built around 1600, is located on the southwest and northwest sides of the churchyard. It is constructed of red brick with lime mortar in an irregular bond. The wall extends approximately 40 meters northwest from the west end of the church, interrupted by a late 19th-century wicket gate, and about 25 meters northeast from that point. Additionally, it runs approximately 6 meters southeast from the west end of the church, where it connects to a 19th-century wall made of smoother bricks in a regular English bond. The wall stands at a height of 2 to 3 meters, and features a dogtooth course below the cornice, which has been renewed.
