Railings, Gates And Revetment Wall To Churchyard Of Parish Church Of St Mary

The railings, gates, and revetment wall surrounding the churchyard of the Parish Church of St Mary were constructed in the 18th century and mid-20th century. The mid-20th century square-section railings enclose the churchyard, except on the south side, where they slope down to the revetment wall. In the south-east corner, there is a square flight of steps that leads to a footpath along the north and east sides of the churchyard, as well as to a gate featuring a low horizontal bar with an inverted semicircular arch beneath it. A similar gate is located to the east of the north transept, while double gates can be found to the north of the north porch and at the west door, where a simple overthrow supports a mid-20th century lamp of traditional design. Inside these gates, steps lead to the church door, and to the right, a small gate provides access to the heating system. The revetment wall is made of coursed limestone rubble with coping and stands approximately 1.5 meters high on the south side. As it turns uphill into Court Barton at the west end, the wall diminishes to form a plinth for the railings.
