Description
The entrance and boundary walls to the churchyard extension consist of a pair of square gate piers made of grey stone ashlar, topped with stone-coped gablets. The crests of the gablets feature roll mouldings, and the fronts have incised trefoils, although the apex of the right-hand pier is missing. Between the piers, there are double cast iron gates with plain finials, some scrollwork above the lock rail, and closely-spaced dog rails. Inside the entrance, a walkway leads to the churchyard extension, bordered on the right-hand side by a high wall of random stone with slate coping. This wall returns eastward towards the late 20th-century entrance to The Cloisters (Vicarage). On the left side of the left gate pier, there is a short section of low rubble stone wall with rounded stone coping, which turns at a right angle towards the north, forming the left-hand side of the walkway to the churchyard extension and also acting as a retaining wall for Prior Street.
