Description

The east wall of a demolished medieval building is located in the churchyard. It measures approximately 10 meters long and stands between 2.5 to 3 meters high. The wall is constructed of rubble stone and features a wide pointed arched doorway on the left, which has a hoodmould similar to the west door of the church, though less prominent. The stone is made of Bath stone and is adorned with a series of six or seven thin mouldings, including hollow designs, hollow mouldings with rosettes, bead, and ogee shapes. An inscription can be found in the outer arch beneath the hoodmould.

To the right of the doorway, the wall is set back and includes a single flat-headed window with a cusped pointed light. There is a smaller door to the right, which also has hoodmoulds and similar late 15th-century mouldings, though these are more eroded and set at a lesser splay. Further to the right, there is a 15th-century fragment featuring a cusped ogee head with two quatrefoils in the spandrels. Below this, a reset stone displays an eroded cross flanked by rosettes. Traces of limewash can be seen on the rear of the wall.
