Details First World War memorial gates, erected around 1920. MATERIALS: iron gates with stone gate piers. DESCRIPTION: the memorial takes the form of a pedestrian gate which stands at the entrance to the footpath leading to the west door of the Church of St Helen (listed Grade II*). It comprises a pair of iron gates with spearhead railings with decorative scrollwork subdivided by a horizontal band of elongated ovals below which are twisted dog-rails. The gates have a concave top rail and a shallow panel with pierced quatrefoil motifs and a pierced dedicatory inscription which reads 'IN MEMORIAM (left-hand gate) / 1914 - 1918' (right-hand gate). The gates stand between piers of coursed random rubble with shallow pyramidal caps. Set within the walling of each pier is a sandstone plaque inscribed with the eight names (four on each plaque) of the fallen.
