Footbridge and walls of Baglan brook around churchyard of St Catharine

The footbridge and walls of Baglan brook are located around the churchyard of St Catharine. The footbridge is constructed from coursed rock-faced stone and features a single chamfered segmental arch that spans the stream. Its parapets have battered outer faces, ashlar saddleback copings, and end in large square piers topped with pyramidal caps. On the outer side, there are double wooden gates with reeded muntins, open panels, and fleur-de-lys cast iron cresting.

The bridge crosses the Baglan brook, which flows through a stone-lined channel with rock-faced stone walls and plain iron railings facing the road. These railings were cast by W. Davies of Briton Ferry and are dated 1882. The brook enters a culvert at the southern end below Church Road through a segmental-headed arch. The churchyard wall runs along the southwest side, facing Church Road, and features cast iron railings on a dwarf wall with intermediate stone piers topped with saddleback copings. On the northern side of the bridge, there is a revetment wall that abuts the stone-lined stream at a right angle, retaining the upper part of the churchyard. The boundary wall has a short return at the northern end, which consists of a concave wall with two square dressed stone piers and double cast iron gates.
