Gate Piers, Gates And Walls Flanking Gateway At Approximately 15 Metres East Of Church Of St Stedian

The gate-piers, gates, and walls flanking the gateway located approximately 15 meters east of the Church of St Stedian date from the early 19th century. Constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings, the wide gateway opens into the churchyard wall. On either side of a flagged walk within the gateway, there are stone settles, and in the center of the walk, there is a coffin rest with rounded ends. The gate-piers are square granite monoliths, topped with an iron overthrow that connects their heads. The settles feature dressed granite seats and low backs, finished with granite copings. A pair of original wrought-iron gates includes roundels on the lock rail and round-arched bracing below, forming a segmental arch with their top rails when closed. The closely-set bars of the gates are topped with arrow-head finials. The overthrow creates a round arch, complete with a lamp bracket in the center and a bifurcated scrolled detail.
