Description

The gates, gate piers, and boundary walls to the Rectory were built in 1841. They are made of sandstone in a rubble style, featuring flat weathered and throated coping that extends approximately 28 meters north from the wall by the lych-gate to the Church of St Mary. The walls are generally about 2 meters high and include one pair of square gate piers set on unweathered plinths, topped with flat pyramidal caps over projecting square-edged abacuses. These gate piers support a pair of wooden gates that retain their original iron straps and fittings. Additionally, there is a second pair of similar gate piers that do not have gates. The wall returns at the left end to connect with the back wall of the Rectory.
