Walls enclosing churchyard of St
Cuthbert
GV II
Churchyard boundary walling. Various dates, but most
apparently early C19. Random rubble local stone, with ashlar
copings and gate piers. On north side, against the The Old
Almshouse, Chamberlain Street (qv), average 1m high, with
pitched coping, gate in north-east corner having square ashlar
gate piers with plinths, moulded shallow bell-hip tops, and
cast-iron gateposts and gates with spear rails and curved
braces.
East wall has flatter rounded coping, averaging 1m high,
curving inwards towards south-east corner, with opening on
corner with plain rectangular piers to same height as wall.
Return along south side to match, with gateway opposite south
porch and piers matching north-east corner but taller, with a
pair of cast-iron gates having ornamental cross finials and
other decorations.
The west wall forms the boundary with sundry adjoining
properties, and breaks westward about mid length-at this point
a stone lean-to building of C19 date, possibly a former
mortuary chapel, this wall averages 2.5m height.
Further north wall, about 2.5m height, with gateway in centre,
along boundary with Chamberlain Street back to the Almshouses.
