Description
The gate piers, gates, and railings form the entrance to St Mary’s churchyard on Castle Street. The square gate piers are constructed of regularly coursed, tool-worked stone and topped with pyramidal caps made of small pieces of crushed limestone designed to resemble flint. A central double gate of cast iron is set between the piers; the gates are finished with spear finials and an arched profile. Lower dwarf walls and railings, likely dating from the early 19th century, are on the outer sides, featuring finials shaped like twisted spears. These railings are similar in style to those at numbers 23-25 Castle Street, which date from the 1830s.
