Description

The railings and gates of the Church of St Paul were constructed between 1789 and 1794 by Daniel Hague as part of his design for the church. They are made of wrought iron and feature Gothic details. The railings are spear-headed and topped with urn finials on the stanchions. There are three main sets of gates, with an ornate overthrow at the center and a simpler gateway leading to the path on the right.
