Description

The boundary wall and gate piers located south of the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene were built in the late 19th century. They are constructed from local grey coursed limestone rubble and feature stepped walls topped with freestone coping. There are two sets of polychromatic gate piers, which have recessed quatrefoils and steep pyramidal caps adorned with small gables. This structure is included for its group value with the church.
