Description
The gates, gate piers, walls, and railings at the Church of Saint Cattwg are notable features of the churchyard. The walls are constructed of rubble stone and topped with heavy coping that supports short iron railings adorned with spearhead finials and urns on the stanchions.
On the northeast side, the entrance gates are flanked by sandstone ashlar piers that have plinths and pyramid caps. The double iron gates feature a mid rail and are reinforced with opposed curved strengthening bars, along with spearheads and urns on the hanging stile.
To the left of the entrance, there is approximately 22 meters of railing, while to the right, the railings curve around to a northern pedestrian gate, which has matching ironwork and shortened piers. This continues for about 10 meters to another set of double gates at the southwest, where the piers are topped with wrought iron overthrows and lampholders. Finally, there is an additional length of around 10 meters of railings to the right, along Birch Lane.
