Gate Piers, Gates And Iron Railings To South And East Of Churchyard At Church Of St Nicholas

The gate piers, gates, and iron railings located to the south and east of the churchyard at the Church of St. Nicholas were built in the mid-19th century. They are made of gritstone and feature cast and wrought-iron elements. There are four gate piers that support a central double gate, flanked by single gates on either side, with a matching footpath gate to the left. The railings extend to the gate piers, approximately 20 meters south of the south porch.

The gate piers are square in shape, standing on square plinths, and have moulded caps, although two of the right piers have been renewed. The central and side gates are designed with closely spaced lower bars, a decorative midrail, stiles, and a crested top rail. They incorporate geometric and gothic motifs, along with castellated finials. The railings consist of square, single, and paired principal standards, also topped with castellated finials, some of which are missing. The gate piers to the south of the church feature sunken gothic panels. These structures are included partly for their group value.
