Forecourt dwarf wall and railings to Tabernacle Church and to Tabernacle Church School

The forecourt dwarf wall and railings to the Tabernacle Church and Tabernacle Church School date back to the 19th century. They feature a long run of iron railings with cast-iron spearheads set on a low stone wall with stone coping. The railings are supported by scrolled wrought iron brackets. There is a matching gate to the schoolroom, which includes wrought iron scrolls in the bottom rail.

The main entrance to the church forecourt is marked by two impressive gate piers, designed with an openwork pattern of intersected half circles and a lozenge pattern at the bottom, topped with a diagonal pierced cross. Cast-iron supports on top hold acanthus caps that carry modern lamps. The double gates are particularly ornate, showcasing dense patterning below the mid rail, which features small spearheads between the upper plain rails. Above the top rails, there is delicate wrought-iron scrollwork on the taller meeting stile, with the words 'Taber' and 'nacle' presented in cursive script. At the left end of the railings stands a sandstone pier.
