Post Box, St Magnus' Kirkyard Wall, Hamnavoe, Yell

This post box is located in the wall of St Magnus' Kirkyard in Hamnavoe, Yell, and dates back to 1838. It is a symmetrical, two-bay hall church with a rectangular plan, featuring painted rubble walls and ashlar margins. The windows are segmental-arched with projecting cills, and the openings and corners are margined.

The east gable has a symmetrical design, featuring an 8-panel, 2-leaf timber entrance door set in a segmental-arched opening at the ground level, with windows on either side. Above the entrance, there is a single stair window, and two gallery windows are located in the gablehead. The south elevation consists of two widely spaced bays, with a former door in the left bay that has been infilled to cill height and glazed above. The west gable mirrors the east gable, with two large windows that have high cills flanking the center. The north elevation is a mirrored image of the south elevation.

The building features timber sash and case glazing, with 12-pane windows on the east gable and 30-pane windows in the original hall. There are 12-pane top-hoppered lights where former doors were located, and shutter hinge-pins are present on the windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has sandstone ashlar skew-copes, with a ball finial at the apex of the east gable. The west gable has a stugged ashlar bird-cage bell-cote topped with a ball-finialled pyramidal cap, and there is a small stugged ashlar wallhead stack on the south elevation at the vestry.

Inside, the vestibule is lined with vertically-boarded timber, and there is a gallery stair on the north side. The doors are 4-panel, with the south door leading to a vertically-boarded timber-lined vestry, and the west door accessing the hall, which is also timber lined. The hall features horizontally-boarded pews facing a pulpit that is centered on the west wall. The pulpit has perron steps leading up to it and is canted with a panelled design, topped by a corniced hexagonal canopy. A timber gallery spans the east wall, supported by cluster columns, with a panelled and corniced front, although it has been infilled above in 1997.

The graveyard walls surrounding the church are made of harled battered rubble, topped with a triangular concrete cope, and tapering to the west. An Edwardian post box is located at the southeast corner of the graveyard.
