moulded flat caps, and Adam style urns as finials, with sweeps of railings with barbed spear points to curved toprail
to matching side piers, the central piers being about 3 metres high and the outer 2.5 metres high; gates have barbed
spear finals to curved tops, and Greek key ornament to middle rails. The North West gate similar in detail but smaller
in scale. The South West gate has plain ashlar piers about 400 mm wide and 2 metres high, with moulded pyramidal caps;
the gates have plain points to rails, with quatrefoil in middle rails and applied curves to top rail. Linking walls
vary in height with slope of ground but average 1.5 metres; tops finished with cement flaunching. An essential part of
the street scene around the church, dating from the extension and enclosure of the churchyard in 1818. Only North East
