Description

The gate and gatepiers at the north west entrance to the churchyard in Padstow date from the early 19th century, with the gatepiers rebuilt in the mid 19th century. The structure features wrought iron gates set between stone rubble piers topped with granite pyramid caps. The gatepiers are large and squat, nearly square in shape, with the main gate attached to the west pier and two narrower leaves on the east pier. The gate is designed to function as a kissing gate when closed but can also be fully opened. A flight of steps with slate treads, arranged in a semi-circular plan, leads down to the churchyard from the south. The gates likely originate from local craftsmanship, featuring a central panel adorned with scroll patterns and upright stiles that end in spear-shaped finials.
