(north side)

6/193 Old Hearse House, with
railing and gate pier

GV II

Hearse house, now garage, with railing and gate pier attached to south-east
corner. Late C18-early C19. Hearse house: coursed squared limestone, stone
slate roof. Rectangular single-storey building with C20 board double doors
at east end and small Gothick west window, no glazing. Hipped roof.
Railing: wrought iron, approximately 80 centimetres wide and 1.5 metres
high. Stone sill, rails with spearhead finials, ramped top edge. 2 panels
with scrolls and roundels, at lock rail and top rail height. Gate pier:
gritstone, approximately 2 metres high with rounded top. It is split
(possibly broken) approximately 50 centimetres above ground level. The pier
and railing are probably the remains of a gateway which closed the end of
Vicarage Lane from the churchyard.
