Description
The entrance wall, piers, and gates of the Abbey are likely partly from the 18th century and are constructed of red brick in a quadrant shape at the entrance to the drive. They feature large, tall square piers topped with moulded stone caps, one of which is displaced. There is also a pair of wrought iron gates and five stone bollards, some of which extend in front of the churchyard entrance.
