Description

The East Entrance to the Churchyard of St Mary's Church is a gateway built in the mid-19th century, possibly designed by Sir Charles Barry. It features square ashlar gate-piers, each with a recessed Gothic panel and pyramidical tops. Between the gate-piers are double pedestrian gates designed in a Gothic style, although there is no overthrow or lamp present. To the north, a stone wall connects the gate-piers to the outbuildings of Petworth House.
