Description
The churchyard gates located approximately 15 metres south of the Church of St Edmund's in Southwold consist of carriage and pedestrian gates with gate piers. The pedestrian gate dates from around 1810, while the carriage gates were installed in 1838 and were repaired after sustaining bomb damage in 1943. The carriage gates were designed by G.E. Child and are made of cast iron.
The twin carriage gates are hung on triangular-section compound piers, which feature pairs of punched trefoils arranged in two tiers and are topped with a shallow domed cap above panels that are dated 1838. The gates have square-section bars that end in foliate arrow-head finials, positioned between the top and bottom rails, which are pierced with quatrefoils. The names of the churchwardens are recorded on the top rail.
To the right, the pedestrian gate is a single-leaf gate hung between square-section compound lattice piers. This gate also has square-section bars that interlace above a plain top rail.
