Description
The gate piers, gates, and flanking walls located south of Chynhale Methodist Church were built around 1879 and designed for William Bickford-Smith. The gates were supplied by the Tuckingmill Foundry.
The structure features granite rubble walls topped with dressed granite copings, dressed granite monolith piers, and heavy cast-iron gates. The walls are cyma-on-plan and connect to a central gateway with square-on-plan gate piers. The low walls have chamfered copings, and the former iron railings were removed in 1943. The gate piers are detailed with double kneckings, moulded cornices, and cruciform caps on both the front and rear sides, while the terminal piers are slightly simpler. The cast-iron gates are adorned with pierced tracery that includes quatrefoils and trefoils, with ogee heads on the upper tracery transitioning into poppy head finials above the top rail. In front of the gateway, there is a cobbled forecourt bordered by a granite kerb.
