extending from west pier of NW gateway to churchyard along
Church Row.
2 courses of ashlar at north end, raised with coursed squared

length of railing with arrow-head finials to bars survives (or

and panelled sides, cornices with quatrefoil panels, 2-tier
pyramidal caps.
Overthrow has paired square-section bars linked by palmette

HISTORICAL NOTE: now opening into the end of Kirk Ings Yard
and little used, this was one of the main entrances into the
precinct of the old Church of St Peter and continued in use
after the rebuild of 1839-41.
Before the establishment of the present line of The Calls in
c1830 to the south, the medieval routeway from the manor house
and Briggate to the east was via this lane and the churchyard
to Timble Bridge.
