Description
The churchyard walls and bierhouse at St Mary's Church are constructed of rubble with squared, rough-dressed limestone quoins and feature a slate roof with plain, deep verges. There is a boarded door on the east side, which has an exposed timber lintel and a stop-chamfered frame. The south gable, which faces the road, has large boarded double doors with an exposed timber lintel. To the right of the bierhouse is a plain iron gate flanked by square limestone piers topped with shallow pyramidal capping, with the right pier having a cement cap.
The churchyard wall extends eastward from this point for about 50 meters, standing approximately 1.5 meters high and capped with stones set on edge. Opposite the south door of the church is a plain late 19th century or early 20th century iron gate, which is flanked by tall sandstone gatepiers likely dating from the early 18th century, possibly connected to the cyclopean west entrance lintel of the church dated 1715. These piers are square, around 2.3 meters high, and feature elongated pyramidal capping with ball finials on top; they are integrated into the walls.
To the right of the gate, the wall curves around the east side of the churchyard, transforming into a revetment wall that follows a path down to the village. This section has an irregular rubble crenellated parapet and reaches a height of approximately 4.2 meters at the northeast corner of the churchyard. The wall continues around the north side of the churchyard as a lower revetment and then returns southward as a low rubble wall, connecting back to the bierhouse. There is also a later, early 20th century walled churchyard adjoining to the west.
