Description

The churchyard walls and gate piers date from the 18th and 19th centuries. They are constructed from granite rubble with dressed granite copings. The south and west gateways feature round-headed granite monolith gate piers, which support iron gates. At the west end, the churchyard wall connects to a dressed granite gateway that includes a grid stile, providing access to a footpath leading from the Best Gate of the Clowance estate.
