Churchyard walls, gates, gatepiers and railings at Church of Saint Mary

The churchyard walls, gates, gatepiers, and railings at the Church of Saint Mary date from 1860. The southeast side features a low rubble wall topped with curved grey limestone coping and iron railings with spearhead finials. The standards have urn finials. There are two square sandstone gatepiers, each with a plinth, a slightly pointed arched panel on the shaft, and an added pyramid cap, which flank wrought iron double gates adorned with a scrolled iron overthrow. The gates include spearhead rails, dog-bars, a scrolled mid-rail, and cresting.

The churchyard gateway at the right end of the southeast side is made of brown sandstone ashlar, featuring a double chamfered pointed arch, a hoodmould, and eroded carved stops. The coping is steeply chamfered in three steps and topped with a cross finial. The walls at the east end, north side, and west side are raised on rubble retaining walls, particularly high on the north and east sides. The squared sandstone low walls have a stringcourse and widely spaced crenellations with steeply chamfered coping. Between each crenellation, there are two-bay sections of low cast-iron railings in a zig-zag pattern, featuring Gothic cusping and a fleurs de lys finial on the center standard.

At the northeast corner, there is a tall sandstone pier with chamfered angles, a pyramid cap, and an octagonal stone finial. At the west end of the north side, there is a projection over a basement with a cambered-headed entry, followed by a flight of 18 stone steps with scrolled iron railings leading up to a short length of high rubble wall with chamfered coping, which is stepped and has an ashlar plaque over a segmental pointed entry. This entry frames a pointed medieval archway from a former charnel house that has been reset to face into the churchyard, with double iron gates. The high wall turns at the northwest corner of the churchyard, and the west side features a retaining wall with a top from 1860, stepped up Tower Hill.
