Description

The retaining wall to the churchyard, along with the gates and iron railings, is located in the south-west part of the wall. The wall is made of stone rubble and likely dates from the 18th century or earlier, with granite footings. The railings were added in the mid to late 19th century. The low stone rubble wall follows the curve of the churchyard. In the south-west, the boundary features dressed granite footings topped with iron railings that have spike finials. There are plain granite gate piers and a pair of iron gates that match the railings.
