Description
This wall was listed Grade II in 1987 with the following description:
'Church yard wall, and gatepiers. Town pant attached at north end. C18 walls and pant; mid C19 piers and gates. Sandstone with ashlar dressings; wrought-iron gates. Tall square triers have plinths and corbelled pyramidal coping. Walls have plinth and chamfered coping. Pant at north end is of coursed squared stone, with deep edge moulding and incurved top corners; central niche formerly held tap. High spear- headed gates have dog bars to central horizontal panel on top of which are spear heads.'
The 'musical notes' carved along the stone churchyard wall built against the west gable wall of the modern buildings to north of church. These are recesses for grave-marker plates. Parishioners who purchased grave plots had their ownership marked by a metal plate fixed to the wall.
