Churchyard walls and gateways to Priory Church of Saint Nicholas

The churchyard walls and gateways of the Priory Church of Saint Nicholas are constructed of rubble stone, enclosing the churchyard. The walls include both retaining sections and freestanding parts. The long southern wall along Church Terrace is rough rendered on the outside and features a gateway at the western end. This gateway has late 19th to early 20th century rock-faced grey limestone gate piers with stepped capping, topped with pyramid blocks sourced from elsewhere. The gates, made by E Norton & Co Ltd of Garston, have down-curved top rails and spearheads on the main bars and dog bars, which are reinforced with diagonal cross-bars. There is a wrought iron overthrow above the gates.

Towards the eastern end, near Monkton Old Hall, there is a smaller 19th century gateway. This gateway includes five stone steps between rubble gate piers topped with pyramidal caps. It features an iron scrolled overthrow with a lamp bracket, and the gate has arrowhead finials on the main uprights and dog-bars, although the ironwork is in decay as of 2004. The southern wall steps back to continue as a low churchyard wall on a high retaining wall leading to Monkton Old Hall. The eastern wall is similar, also made of rubble and forming a high retaining wall. The northern wall extends back to a brick-arched pedestrian gate that leads to the vicarage at the northeast corner of the church and is freestanding, made of rubble and covered in ivy. The western wall is also rubble, extending back to the southwest corner of the church.
