Walls, Gate Piers And Gates To The Church Of St Andrew

The walls, gate piers, and gates to the Church of St Andrew were built between 1877 and 1880 by the architect George Edmund Street. They are constructed from rubblestone with freestone capping and quoins, featuring wrought-iron gates. The gates facing Friday Street are set on a sloping site, with a retaining wall on the north side that rises from the pavement to approximately 2 meters by the porch. This wall then ramps and steps down to serve as a flanking wall for the steps leading to the porch at the north-east corner. The wall at the east end is made of snecked sandstone and has chamfered freestone capping. The southern rubblestone wall also reaches about 2 meters in height. The double gates at both east corners are adorned with scrolls and trefoil heads on the panels and are supported by square piers made of ashlar and rubblestone, topped with pyramidal heads. Additionally, the handrail on the north wall is held up by scrolled wrought-iron uprights.
