Walls And Gate To Parish Church Of St Michael

The walls and gate to the Parish Church of St Michael date from the 19th century. They consist of rubblestone walls and a timber lychgate with a tiled roof. The walls on the south and east sides are substantial retaining walls; the southern wall is approximately 3 meters high and 100 meters long, and it flanks the steps leading to the west end of the church. At the south corner of the east wall, there is a late 19th-century plain-tiled lychgate supported by red sandstone piers. The eastern wall extends about 50 meters and increases in height in five steps from approximately 2 meters to 3 meters. Ivy-covered rubblestone walls enclose the north and west sides of the churchyard.
