Description

The walling and railings, located about 10 metres north of the Old Rectory, date from the early 19th century. Constructed from ham stone ashlar with wrought-iron railings, the wall runs alongside the drive to the Old Rectory and the Church of St George. It stands approximately 1.25 metres high and features moulded coping. There is a break in the wall opposite the facade of the Old Rectory and a curved east end. At each end of the two lengths of the wall, there are octagonal piers with chamfered plinths and moulded pointed caps. In the gap, there is a turning circle and a roughly semi-circular sweep of wrought-iron railings with pointed-arched hooped tops. This structure provides a formal approach to both the Old Rectory and the Church of St George.
