Churchuard Gates and Walls at St Mary's Church

The Churchyard Gates and Walls at St Mary's Church date from the 19th century. The bier-house is a single-storey structure with a modern mono-pitch corrugated iron roof. It is built of rubble with a brick entrance face on the west side. Above a modern boarded door, there is a large dressed stone lintel featuring re-used fielded panel decoration. The north side has two blocked ventilation slits.

Adjacent to the bier-house are the south churchyard gates, which were created during the restoration by George Edmund Street between 1882 and 1884. The gate-piers are made of plain sandstone and topped with conical caps. The iron gates are decorated with simple fleurs-de-lis and arrow motifs. The rubble retaining wall of the churchyard is stepped down from the gates and follows the road around to the northwest, where there is a small pedestrian gate with plain gate-piers in a similar style. The wall continues along the west and southwest sides of the church, enclosing the old churchyard in a rough L shape before it meets the rear wall of the northern agricultural range of Plas yn Llan. The later cemetery walls to the west are not included in this description.
