Description

The courtyard walls attached to the south and east of Medros Farmhouse and Methrose Farmhouse, along with a font located in the courtyard, date from the mid-17th century. The walls are constructed of granite rubble, faced with granite ashlar on the outer side of the east range, and feature granite dressings. The font is believed to be of medieval origin and was reportedly used in the 18th century.

The walls extend approximately 12 meters in the south range from the parlour wing and about 7 meters in the east range, connecting to the lower end of the farmhouse. There is a doorway in the east range. The walls stand around 2 meters high, made of large granite blocks, with some sections partially rebuilt in the 20th century. The east range includes a granite doorway with a four-centred arch that is hollow-chamfered with roll-mouldings, and the jambs are set on square bases without stops. The double doors, which feature strap hinges, are likely re-used.

The font is octagonal, with a brattished top and a roughly circular bowl supported by a shaped stem. It is said that John Wesley used this font for baptisms in the 18th century.
