Description

There are six lamp standards in St Margaret's churchyard, which date from the mid-19th century. These lamp standards are made of cast iron and feature slightly enriched shafts above square bases, topped with circular lanterns and ornamental cresting. They are still gaslit. Four of the lamp standards line the path between the Abbey and the church, while a pair is located in front of the church's west porch.
