masonry. Squared sandstone; west wall mainly squared limestone. Large
squared sandstone coping stones. Wall encloses rectangular-plan churchyard
on all 4 sides. 1.0 to 1.5-metre-tall north section with lych-gate in
centre; 2 stone steps on both sides of wall to east of lych-gate. Lower,
partly-rebuilt east section has ramp down at north-east corner and gradually
increases in height towards rounded south-east corner. 1.5 to 1.75-metre-
tall south section has long, rounded south-west corner. West section of
similar height has rounded north-west corner.

2. Lych-gate. Dated 1898 on rear tie beam. Oak frame and Welsh slate
roof. Gable-fronted. Arch-braced corner posts. Front tie beam, with raised
letters MORS AD VITAM VIA, surmounted by cross. Roof has overhanging eaves
and verges with wavy bargeboards.

site of the important medieval manor of Sadberge.
