Piers, Gates, Lantern And Boundary Walls Surrounding Churchyard Of St John The Baptist

The piers, gates, lantern, and boundary walls surrounding the churchyard of St John the Baptist were built in the late 19th century. They are constructed from slatestone rubble with granite dressings and piers, featuring wrought iron gates and a lantern. The walls are approximately 2 meters high and step down, extending about 33 meters to the north with buttresses at the upper level and granite chamfered copings. The wall sweeps up to the south and extends about 3 meters, returning and continuing about 25 meters to the east at a height of about 1 meter.

To the southwest, there is a pair of square granite ashlar piers with chamfered tops, supporting wrought iron gates with scrolled curved tops. The left pier has a wrought iron lantern on a quadripartite wrought iron base, topped with a spherical lantern and a cross finial. At the northwest corner, the wall steps back around a granite war memorial cross from 1918 and continues east for about 14 meters to a similar pair of piers with plainer wrought iron gates. The wall continues east for about 12 meters further.
