Description
The south-east gateway and south boundary wall to the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Trinity were built in the 19th century and remodeled in 1902. They are constructed from local lias and Doulting stone, featuring wrought ironwork. The gateway includes square lias stone ashlar gatepiers set on moulded plinths, topped with moulded Doulting stone caps that have pyramid tops. There is a wrought iron overthrow with scrollwork and a central lantern above the gates, which are adorned with barbed spikes, fleurs-de-lys, and vine ornamentation. To the left of the gateway, there is a stone stile with steps, and additional steps lead up to the gateway itself. The south boundary wall is approximately 1.5 meters high, made of cut and squared stone with shaped coping. The gateway was remodeled and a light was added to commemorate the Coronation of Edward VII on August 9, 1902, as noted on a plaque on the left gatepier. This structure significantly enhances the setting of the Church of the Holy Trinity.
