Description

To the E of the Old Cloisters car-park, the wall is of large blocks of coursed grey stone with flat stone coping c1.5m high. At the L end, the wall rises up to join the SE angle of the church and a stub wall at right-angles. To the R, the wall rises over a pointed-arched gateway with chamfered stone hoodmould. The wall curves round towards the R to a wide gateway, orientated at an angle, which forms the vehicular entrance to the car-park; it has a pair of stone piers with pyramidal caps, between which are double cast iron gates with scrollwork and pointed finials. Further N, opposite the Church House, is a butt joint, beyond which the wall is of large blocks of random stone without coping, gradually stepping down. It continues along the S side of School Road where it is supported by irregular raked buttresses. At the NW corner the wall splits; the inner wall is higher and covered in vegetation; the lower wall fronts the road and continues along Prior Street where it has coping of alternate raised stones. The 2 walls rejoin at the NW corner of St Peter's Churchyard. It continues as a high retaining wall, up to 2.5m high, of roughly coursed random stone with stone coping. Towards the R is a butt joint, beyond which the wall is slightly lower and narrower; it rises up to join the NW angle of the Post Office and contains a small window opening with red brick reveals and sandstone lintel.
