Description
The boundary wall and railings at St David's Churchyard are a Grade II listed structure. The northern, western, and eastern sides of the churchyard feature a low rubble wall topped with heavy, roughly dressed coping stones and cast iron railings. Each section of the railings has 18 uprights attached to rectangular stanchions with pyramidal caps, some of which are supported by struts. A triangular hole near the top indicates that the top rail originally passed through the stanchion, but it has been adapted so that the top rail now clasps the stanchion. There are three entrance bays located at the northwest, southeast, and east sides, with the first two being recessed and featuring tall gate piers with capstones and 20th-century metalwork. On the southern end of the western side and along the southern side, the wall is higher and lacks railings, being capped with cement. At the southeast corner, there is a tall pier with a capstone.
