Description
The roadside wall with gateways forms the northern boundary to The Old Vicarage and dates from around 1869. It is constructed of rubble limestone with dressed sandstone copings and gatepiers. The wall stands approximately 2 meters high, serving as both a freestanding structure and a retaining wall for the gardens of The Old Vicarage on Yeld Road. It features chamfered copings.
At the east end, there is a pedestrian gateway with square-sectioned gatepiers and original iron gates that include finialled dog bars and scrollwork. The west end of the wall curves around to a vehicle entrance from Yeld Road, which is marked by large gatepiers with chamfered tops.
