Description
The railings from Church Lodge to the A39, along with the gate, gate piers, and lamp corner at the entrance to St. Ethel Dreda's Church, were designed by John Norton in 1850. These features are made of cast iron. The gate has fleur de lys headed outer standards, tripartite and spear-headed elements, and trefoil headed reinforcements. The gate piers are pierced and topped with fleur de lys finials, featuring quatrefoil and trefoil headed lozenge decorations. The lamp carrier arches from the gate piers and holds a central lamp, adorned with wrought iron scrolls resembling foliage. The railings have fleur de lys headed standards with five horizontal bars, topped with draped chains. They start from the northeast side of Church Lodge, curve in a semi-circle at the entrance to the church, and continue around the southeast side of the churchyard, extending south to the A39. These railings are identical in design to those running from the west side of the gate piers at Church Lodge to the A39.
