Description
The north-west and south-west boundary walls to the former United Reform Church were built in 1863. They are constructed from ham stone that is cut, squared, and boasted, with ashlar dressings. The walls are approximately one metre high and feature angled ashlar copings. At intervals of about two metres, there are piers with ashlar quoins and stepped pyramidal tops, which rise nearly two metres high.
Near the angle opposite the west door of the former church, there are cast-iron gates with fleur-de-lys heads, along with a simple wrought-iron overthrow for a lamp. These gates provide access to a flight of nine steps leading up to the door. To the north of the gates, there is a recess for a seat, and at the east end of the north-west wall, there is a matching gateway opposite the church extension. Overall, the boundary walls enhance the setting of the church and contribute significantly to the street scene, particularly at the east end of St James's Street.
