Description
The gateway at the south west entrance to the churchyard of the Church of St Mewan dates from the mid 19th century. It is constructed of granite and features a wooden gate with wrought iron elements, as well as a wrought iron lamp standard.
The gateway consists of two plain granite monolith piers, each about 1.5 metres high, with rounded tops. There are short sections of granite ashlar wall on either side, topped with rounded granite coping. The wooden gate from the 19th century includes a mid rail adorned with wrought iron trefoil finials. Attached to the north gate pier is a wrought iron lamp standard, which supports a lantern held up by four uprights that form a tapered column. The lantern is topped with a pyramidal design.
