Description
A pair of high gate piers and associated railings form the entrance to the eastern side of the churchyard. Dating from the 19th century, they are made of cast iron. The piers have plain, square bases and square shafts that are pierced on each face with matching Gothic tracery resembling 2-light window tracery. The enriched ogee capitals feature bases with embattled ornament and spike finials. The railings stand on brick plinths and have thin cylindrical shafts linked by an upper and lower band of trefoil cusping, topped with ornate cresting. These piers and railings were originally part of a design that included high double and single gates and two more elaborately decorated inner gate piers, of which only photographs now survive.
