South East Gateway To Churchyard Of Church Of St Petroc Minor

The south-east gateway to the churchyard of the Church of St Petroc Minor is a pair of gatepiers, gates, and a coffin rest, built around 1858, likely at the same time as William White's restoration of the church. The structure is made of ashlar slate stone and dressed granite, featuring a pair of wrought iron gates. The gatepiers are square in plan, constructed from ashlar slate stone with a band of dressed granite, and are topped with a slate slab coping that supports a pair of reset 15th-century crocketted pinnacles. To the west, there is a low coffin rest that is slightly tapered with chamfered edges. The wrought-iron gates are designed similarly to those located to the south of the church, with uprights that end in arrowheads and braces that create a 2-centred arch for each gate, adorned with scroll decorations.
