The wall and gate piers surrounding the churchyard of St Luke date from around 1822. The structure features a dwarf wall made of Portland stone that encircles a half-elliptical churchyard, along with a cross retaining wall. At regular intervals, there are eighteen pedimented stone piers that display incised key patterns. At the north end, the perimeter wall transitions into a retaining wall.
