LYNTON AND LYNMOUTH

SS7149 CHURCH HILL, Lynton
858-1/4/14 (North side)
West gateway and gates to
churchyard, Church of St Mary

GV II

Gate piers and gates. c1900. Sandstone piers, wooden gates. A
pair of plain piers approx 0.6m square, with small plinth and
flat cappings on a moulded edge, containing a pair of plank
gates with scrolled top rails. Each gate has 4 vertical panels
with fine Art Nouveau carvings in enriched surrounds. At the
time of survey the right-hand gate had a broken top (scroll)
rail. The gates are hung to the original blacksmith's hinges,
and are similar to, although more ornate than corresponding
gates to the S porch of Church of St Mary (qv), and the S
gateway (qv). They all form a valuable enhancement to the Arts
and Crafts rebuilding of this church.
