Description
The south boundary wall of the churchyard, with a lych gate, belongs to the Church of All Saints. The wall is possibly from the early 19th century, while the lych gate dates to the 20th century. It is constructed from Ham stone, featuring ashlar timber and plain clay tiles, along with bands of scallop tiles. The boundary wall is approximately 95 metres long and averages about 1.25 metres high. It has a chamfered plinth, moulded roll and stop coving, and steps up at each curved end. The lych gate, located opposite the south porch, is in a traditional style. The wall and lych gate are primarily noted for their group value with the Church of All Saints.
