Churchyard Walls, Gateways And Gates Of Church Of St Stephen

The churchyard walls, gateways, and gates of the Church of St Stephen in Launceston are likely from the 18th century, with the gate-piers and gates dating from the mid to late 19th century. The walls are constructed from slatestone and granite rubble, while the gate-piers are made of dressed granite. The west gateway features large square terminal piers with moulded bases, stepped pyramidal caps, and low granite-coped walls. It also has ramped iron railings flanking smaller gate-piers that support a pair of cross-braced gates with a ramped top rail. The south gateway includes a tall iron gate set between smaller fence jambs, topped with an intricate scrolled panel.
