Courtyard walls and font in courtyard to Medrose Farmhouse and Methrose Farmhouse.
Walls of mid C17; font probably of mediaeval origin, said to have been used in the
C18. Walls in granite rubble, faced in granite ashlar on outer side of east range,
with granite dressings; granite font.
The walls run in a south range from the parlour wing for about 12 metres, and in an
east range of about 7 metres, to join the lower end of the farmhouse. There is a
doorway in the east range. The font is inside the courtyard.
The walls are about 2 metres high, in large blocks of granite, partially rebuilt in
the C20 in the east range. The east range has a granite doorway, with 4-centred
arch, hollow-chamfered with roll-mouldings, jambs set on square bases without stops.
Double doors with strap hinges, probably re-used.
The font is octagonal, with brattished top and roughly circular bowl, on shaped stem.
It is said to have been used by John Wesley for baptisms in the C18.
