Wall, gate piers, railings and bollards. Mid C19. Squared limestone rubble wall with moulded freestone coping, ashlar gate piers, wrought-iron railings and cast-iron bollards. The revetment wall, approx 3m high and 100m long, bounds the churchyard to the east along St Mary Street. At the north-east corner it sweeps up to meet gate piers with low plinths, cornices and pyramidal caps attached to the National School on St Mary Street (qv) where the wall projects to form a platform approx 1.5m square at the top of a flight of 12 stone steps. These are flanked by a handrail attached to the wall and plain railings to the outer edge. To the south-east corner is a similar smaller platform and railings to 7 steps. The gate pier supporting the inside rail is part of No.15 St Mary Street (qv). 2 tapered bollards divide the entrance from the churchyard, the most southerly has a casting fault and the north side has fallen away. Both flights of steps rise from the south.
