Description
The main entrance gate, railings, and flanking walls at St Woolos Cemetery date from the 14th century and feature a tall, steeply gabled arched entry made of squared red sandstone with Bathstone detailing, including quoins and copings. The arch has two orders; the outer order includes a hollow moulding, while the inner order meets the arch at the impost level. A hoodmould with a foliage finial is present above the arch, and there is an empty niche with a crocketted ogee canopy. To the left, a pedestrian arch has a parapet that steps up to the center, which features a tablet containing a blank shield. The arches are separated by low buttresses that have gablets adorned with blind trefoils. The main gate consists of iron gates that ramp down to the center. Each end has buttresses that step down to low walls made of red sandstone with Bathstone chamfered copings. These walls are topped with low iron railings featuring a simple pattern of trefoils within triangles. The walls and railings extend to the street frontage, ending with large broach stops and piers that have octagonal upper stages, which include blind quatrefoils and blunt spirelets.
