Heritage listing
Details Churchyard gate, gate piers and lamp overthrow of C19 date, flanked immediately on each side by war memorial shrines built in 1950 to accommodate a First World War memorial of around 1919 date (left-hand side) and a Second World War memorial of 1950 (right-hand side). Stone canopies and cast-iron gates were fitted to the shrines in 1992, probably to designs by Eric Vernon Royle. The churchyard walls immediately to the right- and left-hand side of the wall piers that terminate the war memorial shrines along with the churchyard steps and its flanking retaining walls, including handrails, do not form part of the listing. MATERIALS: the gate is of cast iron construction, the lamp overthrow is of wrought iron and the gate piers are of brick with sandstone dressings and stone caps. The war memorial shrines are constructed from brick with stone canopies and stone-coped dwarf walls surmounted by shallow cast-iron balustrades over which are cast-iron gates. The war memorial tablets are of slate fixed to stone backboards. PLAN: the gateway and flanking war memorial shrines form a linear, symmetrical composition, roughly aligned east to west, on the north side of Market Place, at the entrance to the churchyard of the Church of St Andrew (listed Grade II*). DESCRIPTION: at the centre of the composition is the C19 entrance gateway to the churchyard of the Church of St Andrew. It consists of a pair of tall brick gate piers which has a single sandstone band and pyramidal stone caps. The piers support a pair of inverse-arched, railed, cast-iron gates with dog bars to mid-rail height, all with spearhead finials, and a decorative wrought-iron lamp overthrow with a central lantern. The gateway is flanked immediately on each side by identical brick shrines with stone canopies and s
