Boundary Wall And Gates South-East Of The Old Rectory

The boundary wall and gates located south-east of The Old Rectory date from the early 19th century and were restored in the mid-20th century. The wall is constructed of red sandstone random rubble and is topped with eight courses of brick in irregular bonding, standing approximately 2.5 meters high. The wall curves back at the southern end, where the main entrance is located. There are no gatepiers, but the ends of the wall are marked by 20th-century sandstone pine cones. The cast iron double gates feature a ramped design with a spearhead pattern and standards as terminals, along with a central frieze of interlocking circles. At the northern end of the wall, there is a pointed arch doorway that contains a mid-19th century studded ledge and plank door. This structure is primarily listed for its group value.
