Description
The churchyard gate piers to the north of the Church of St Andrew are likely from the 18th century. They are constructed from local rubble and feature rectangular-plan gate piers that are slightly taller than the surrounding wall. Set into the gate piers are two carved heads, which are said to represent St Mary, accompanied by a double fleur-de-lys, and St Andrew, depicted with a cross satire.
