Retaining wall forming south-east boundary wall of churchyard extending from Sextons Cottage (q.v.) in south-west corner, north eastwards including main gate (to south porch) and parson's gate (between Parsonage q.v. and priest's door) with rounded corner at end and secondary churchyard gate in return. The weathered coping includes a series of holes in top made for now removed iron railing. Main gate has flanking piers with simple geometric patterns and remains of bifurcated broken scroll heads, a segmental arched overthrough with scrolls and lantern frame and double gates in which the outer stiles have acorn finials, the railings have spiked finials with collars, low lock bar with alternate low railings with flat spear finials.
