Description

The walls, railings, piers, and gates located on the west side of the Church of St James were built in the late 19th century. They are constructed from limestone ashlar with red sandstone bands, featuring wrought-iron railings and lamp stands. The structure includes coped walls topped with spear-headed railings, central cylindrical gate piers adorned with red bands at the upper sections, and round moulded caps. Each pier has a lamp holder on top, supported by twisted stanchions and curved lamp brackets. The gates are made of steel.
