- Wall, gatepiers and gates
belonging to Old Church of
St Mary
GV II
Wall, gatepiers and gates. Circa 1830 by Edward Blore. Ironstone with clunch
dressings. Adjoins Lower School to N, runs southwards bordering the pavement
and adjoins the Old Parsonage at S end. Approximately 45 metres long.
Gateway to LH. 4 piers form a central carriage entrance flanked by 2
pedestrian gateways. Clunch piers are approximately 2 metres high and square
in section. They have moulded bases, recessed panels with cusped heads,
moulded embattled cornices and pyramidal caps. Cast iron gates have
ornamental finials above toprails and to dograils of lower sections.
Churchyard wall is of coursed ironstone with ashlar coping, and stands about
half a metre high. Apparently originally supported piers and railings similar
in style to gateway.

Abbey, 1831).
