Graveyard Walls Of Trethewey Methodist Chapel, Gate-Piers, Gates And Adjoining Trap-House

The graveyard walls of Trethewey Methodist Chapel, along with the gate-piers, gates, and adjoining trap-house, were built around 1868. They are constructed from granite ashlar, roughly coursed dressed granite, granite rubble, and rock-faced granite copings. The trap-house features a rectangular grouted scantle slate roof with gable ends. The walls enclose the churchyard on all four sides and also form the perimeter wall of the adjacent schoolroom. There are gateways leading to the paths for the chapel, schoolroom, and trap-house doorways.

On the right-hand (east) side, the trap-house includes a south front with a wide central doorway, a very narrow doorway on the left, and a stable doorway on the right. The chapel has a convex quadrant-on-plan gateway with square gate-piers and terminal piers, and the flanking walls are ramped up. The gateway to the schoolroom is smaller, featuring square monolithic piers, with ramped flanking walls as well. The piers are made of rock-faced granite, and the original cast-iron gates are present at the chapel gateway. The interior of the trap-house has not been inspected.
