Description
The entrance piers, gates, and boundary wall to the Church of St Eurgain and St Peter are notable features constructed from dressed pecked sandstone. The square entrance piers sit on tall plinths and are topped with shallow moulded pyramidal capstones. The double cast iron entrance gates are adorned with bands of quatrefoils on the bottom rails and beneath the lock level, while the top rails feature trefoiled heads and a frieze of squares, finished with stylised fleur-de-lis finials. Access to the gates is via five stone steps with chamfered corners. A path leads north towards the porch, bordered on the east side by plain iron railings with fleur-de-lis finials.
The boundary walls are made of rubble sandstone and topped with saddleback stone copings. On the west side, there is a partly eroded stone tablet embedded in the wall, dated 1837, which mentions the church wardens Thomas Tomlinson and Edward Jones. To the left of this tablet is an entrance to the graveyard, featuring square stone piers and capstones, along with gates that have plain railings. The boundary wall continues around the south side of the graveyard and curves at the southeast corner where it connects with nearby houses. There is an additional entrance here, consisting of square piers made of dressed pecked sandstone and capstones, leading to a flight of six stone steps with plain iron railings that access double cast iron gates, which are simple except for figure-of-eight motifs on the outer sides.
