History

Walls presumably of medieval origin, the high retaining wall on the N to the Mill Pond probably forming the section of the medieval town walls with adjoined the town's N gateway. The retaining wall curves to run behind the houses on Northgate St, also presumably medieval. Retaining wall on churchyard E side of uncertain date.

Exterior

Rubble stone walls to churchyard to N of church. To E a rubble wall runs out from just E of E wall of church nearly to the edge of the steep N drop to the Mill Pond. Some 1.8 m wall on high retaining wall visible from outside. One blocked doorway in wall, remnants of demolished structure on retaining wall. A low rubble wall runs along the top of the very high N retaining wall from the Mill Pond and this retaining wall curves around behind No 1 Town Quay and the houses on the E side of Northgate St, stopping against rear corner of Nos 2-4 Northgate St. The N face to the Mill Pond is substantially built over bedrock at the NE corner.
