and west of Church of
St George
GV II
Railings, gates and gate-piers. Probably 1839-40 as church (q.v.). Coursed squared
stone, ashlar, cast-iron. The railings enclose the churchyard except on the south-
west side, which has later railings not of special interest. Gates in front of the
western tower door and the eastern priest's door are 2-leaf with arrow-headed bars and
dog-bars and urn-finialed main bars. They are hung on monolithic ashlar piers,
square in section with sunk panels and corniced pyramidal caps. Dwarf wall with cham-
fered ashlar coping supports railings with arrow-headed bars and urn-finialed stan-
dards. Another, single-leaf, gate at southernmost angle.
