Description
The east boundary walls to No. 5 (the Manse) and the United Reform Church were built in 1866, possibly by Robert C. Bennett. They are constructed from squared, boasted Ham stone rubble with ashlar copings and piers. The walls range in height from about 1.75 to 3 metres and feature piers at intervals, with cast iron railings in between that have trefoil decoration and urn finials. The gates for the church and the manse are set together at right angles, sharing three gabletted piers. There are 20th-century timber gates between them. Towards the north end of the church wall, there is a low, chamfered segmental-arched gateway with a 20th-century wrought-iron gate. At the south end, plain gate piers lead to the driveway for the manse, but there is no gate there. Former railings have been removed from the manse wall. Overall, these walls significantly enhance the setting of both the Manse and the United Reform Church, as well as the general streetscape.
