The walls run in a south range from the parlour wing for about 12 metres, and in an east range of about 7 metres, to join the lower end of the farmhouse. There is a doorway in the east range. The font is inside the courtyard. The walls are about 2 metres high, in large blocks of granite, partially rebuilt in the C20 in the east range. The east range has a granite doorway, with 4-centred arch, hollow-chamfered with roll-mouldings, jambs set on square bases without stops. Double doors with strap hinges, probably re-used. The font is octagonal, with brattished top and roughly circular bowl, on shaped stem. It is said to have been used by John Wesley for baptisms in the C18.
