Continuous stretch of rubble wall lining the road and acting as a revetment wall to the elevated churchyard, increasing slightly in height to N; curves around corner to W of Church and continues around E end beyond the lychgate to the entrance into the later churchyard.
Probably C18 pointed arched SW gateway with advanced architrave, corbelled parapet and keystone leading to steps up to footpath. Ramped walkway to left, set back, with further rubble wall in line with road; plain gate-piers with Gothic iron gates leading to path to W door. An undated view shows this section of wall much as it is today, its depiction of the original N aisle windows suggesting a pre circa 1765 date. Pointed copings beyond; curves around corner and rises to NW pointed arched entrance with keystone, dated 1843. Wall continues E along Silver Street, decreasing in height as ground rises; broken by opening opposite N transept. Turns S and runs along Church Lane to the freestone lychgate with stone tiled roof and arched trusses on massive corbels. Rubble wall continues to S; steps up and curves towards gate piers which are not of special interest.
