Description

The gates and railings to a former Presbyteriand chapel were possibly built in 1873 when an adjacent school was built for the chapel. It has ashlar dwarf walls, and cast- and wrought-iron gate and railings. The segmental-topped walls hold spear-finialled railings and similar dog bars; gates of the same pattern are hung from iron piers formed from the same railings arranged in a square plan.
