First World War memorial iron gates with stone gate piers. Erected around 1920 to the eight men of the parish who lost their lives during WW1.
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.
