Railings, gates and revetment wall to churchyard of Parish Church of St Mary



GV
II

Railings, gates and revetment wall. C18 and mid C20. Mid C20
square-section railings surround the churchyard, except to the
south, where they sweep down to the revetment wall. The
south-east corner has a square flight of steps leading both to
a footpath bordering the churchyard to north and east, and to
a gate which has a low horizontal bar with an inverted
semicircular arch below it; a similar gate is to the east of
the north transept, and double gates to the north of the north
porch and to the west door, where a simple overthrow supports
a C20 lamp of traditional design. Inside these gates, steps
lead to the door, to the right of them a small gate leads down
to the heating system. The revetment wall, of coursed
limestone rubble with coping, is approx 1.5m high to the
south, and as it turns uphill into Court Barton at the west
end, it diminishes to form a plinth for the railings.
