South Gates Overthrow Gatepiers And Steps To Church Of St Andrew

The South gates, overthrow, gate piers, and steps to the Church of St. Andrew date from the early to mid 19th century. The gate piers are made of rusticated ashlar and stand approximately 3 metres high. Each pier features a chamfered base, rusticated surfaces with a fluted entablature, a deep moulded cornice, and a ball finial on a stepped base. The wrought-iron gates are adorned with bars and dog bars, decorated with C and S scrolls as part of the overthrow. There are two flights of steps, consisting of 8 and 10 segmental treads with nosing. The design of the gateway is referenced in T.D. Whitaker's "History and Antiquities of the Deanery of Craven," where the gates and overthrow are described as being quite plain, similar to the west gates.
