Description


PADSTOW CHURCH STREET (south side), Padstow
SW 9075-9175
8/57 Gate and gatepiers at north west
entrance to churchyard

GV II

Pair of gatepiers, gates and flight of steps. Circa early C19 gates with gatepiers
rebuilt in circa mid C19. Wrought iron gates with stone rubble piers and granite
pyramid caps. Flight of steps with slate treads.
The large but squat piers are almost square on plan with the main gate attached to
the west pier and the 2 narrower leaves attached to the east pier. The gate was
designed to function as a kissing gate when closed but may also be fully opened.
Directly to the south is a flight of steps with slate treads, arranged in a semi-
circular plan, leading down to the churchyard.
The gates are probably of local manufacture with a central panel decorated with
scroll patterns and the upright stiles terminating in spear-shaped finials.
QV. Gates and gatepiers at south east and at north entrances to churchyard.
