Description
The gates, railings, and wall on the north side of the churchyard, which continue east to front the school, were constructed in 1875. They are made of cast iron, random rubble local stone, and Ham stone dressings. The design includes terminal piers that flank the railings in front of the church of St Nicholas and the school to the east. The gatepiers feature double gates leading into the churchyard, with the railings sweeping back towards the gate to the school. The piers are made of Ham stone ashlar and have pyramid tops, a concave entablature, and moulded cornices, along with a moulded plinth. The railings have enriched heads and curved supports, while the double gates have similar heads and quatrefoil panels. These railings and gates were erected after the row of cottages on the north side of the churchyard was cleared away in 1875.
