Description

The forecourt walls to the Church of St Mary Magdalene were built around 1883. They are low walls made of coursed rubble with rounded stone coping. The entrances at the south and west have gate piers topped with wrought iron and brass lampholders, which are likely a later addition. The church and its forecourt walls, along with Ridge End and its forecourt walls, are considered a group.
