Description

The boundary wall south of The Old Rectory is a structure dating from the 17th and 19th centuries. It is made of red brick, laid in Flemish bond, and features a half round coping. In the center of the wall, there is a semi-circular wayside pulpit constructed in the 19th century by the Reverend William Haslam, who served as rector from 1863 to 1871. Haslam, known as a prominent Evangelical preacher, built the pulpit to address the large crowds that gathered in the meadow across the way to hear him, as the parish church was not large enough to accommodate them. The wall is included for its group value and the historical significance of the wayside pulpit, which is a rare example.
