Description
The churchyard railings and gates, dating from around 1864, are part of Sidney Smirke's restoration programme. They are made of cast iron and are set on a low stone rubble wall. The design features a Gothic pattern, with Queen Victoria's cypher incorporated into the tracery panelling of the openwork gate piers.
