Walls Enclosing The Churchyard, Church Of St Leonard

The walls enclosing the churchyard of the Church of St Leonard in Newhaven date from the late medieval period and the 18th to 19th centuries, with repairs made in the 20th century. The walls are constructed of unknapped flint and feature a cement coping. They serve as the boundary wall of the churchyard along Heighton Road and extend along the southern side of the churchyard as an embankment wall, which forms the boundary with the Manor House. Part of this wall includes a standing section from an unidentified medieval structure, measuring about 5 meters long and 2 meters high, which contains a piece of dressed stone that may have been reset and is possibly part of an early 16th-century window opening. Several medieval buildings once stood near the churchyard but were removed during the 18th century.
