Wall, railings and gates at New Bethel Chapel graveyard

The wall, railings, and gates at New Bethel Chapel graveyard are listed as a significant structure. The original graveyard wall surrounds the chapel and is made of narrow coursed stone rubble with tightly packed upright coping stones, appearing as a high retaining wall from the surrounding fields. The graveyard was later extended uphill, and part of the front wall is included in this listing. The wall in front of the chapel is a later rebuild of the original, constructed from larger rubble with saddleback coping and topped with close-set railings featuring spear finials and scrolled supports for the stanchions. Lightweight railings extend at right angles to the side wall, which separates the later extension. In front of the James Thomas monument enclosure, the rails are higher. The uphill extension of the wall is made of mixed rubble with upright stone coping.

On the downhill side, there is a heavy wide wrought iron entrance gate, possibly contemporary with the first chapel, featuring scrolled and twisted spear finials on the top and middle rail, along with scrolled stiles. The rockfaced gatepiers have pyramidal caps. The uphill recess includes four piers of coursed rockfaced stone with rockfaced caps, two of which are at the roadside, leading to a curved section of wall that connects to the two recessed gatepiers. From these piers hang fine decorative iron double gates that incorporate motifs of a wheel, a vine scroll, and a row of finials on the upper rail.
