Description

The wall enclosing the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church, built in 1615, is made of stone rubble and surrounds the churchyard on four sides. However, the wall is not continuous; a short distance from the southeast corner, near Priory House, a fence replaces the wall. Additionally, along the west-southwest side, part of the wall is incorporated into the school buildings. There is also a dwarf wall with railings that flank the forecourt to Priory House, which is listed separately. The wall features entrances in the southeast corner near Priory House, along the west-southwest side, and an entrance on Bimport. The stone rubble gate piers have capping.
