In the E wall is a doorway with gabled head, and C19 iron kissing gate, which has standards with cast-iron urn finials.
On the S side is a former drinking fountain, framed by a pointed arch of tooled stone with stop-chamfer moulding, and with later concrete block over the apex. It has a rectangular stone trough at the base, with run-out channels (possibly cut in). The back is of coursed freestone. It incorporates a rounded corbelled basin, and fixing plate for the former spout. Above is an inscription 'In commemoration of the forty-third year of the ministry of the Rev John Davies MA vicar of this parish June 1st 1889'. Around the arch is inscribed '[To] everyone that thirsteth come ye to the waters'. The L-hand upright is inscribed 'This water supply is from the Llandudno main'.
