Churchyard walls and gateways to Priory Church of Saint Nicholas

Churchyard walls of rubble stone enclosing churchyard, partly retaining walls, partly freestanding. The long S wall to Church Terrace is rough rendered on outside and has gateway at W end with late C19 to early C20 rock-faced grey limestone gate piers with stepped capping (pyramid top blocks from elsewhere). Contemporary iron gates by E Norton & Co Ltd, Garston, with down-curved top rails, spearheads to main bars and to dog bars, which are strengthened by diagonal cross-bars. Wrought iron overthrow. Smaller C19 gateway towards E end near Monkton Old Hall, with five stone steps between rubble gate piers with pyramidal caps. Iron scrolled overthrow with lamp bracket; gate with arrow head finials to main uprights and dog-bars, the ironwork in decay (2004). The S wall then steps back to continue as low churchyard wall on high retaining wall to Monkton Old Hall. E wall is similar rubble wall on high retaining wall. N wall runs back to brick-arched pedestrian gate to vicarage by NE corner of church and is freestanding, rubble, ivy-covered. W wall is rubble, running back to SW corner of church.
