GV II
Archway. 1859 for Archdeacon Stonehouse of Owston Ferry, and his sister-in- law Frances Sanders. Limestone ashlar. Gothic style. Crenellated stepped tripartite gateway with central carriage arch flanked by lower pedestrian arches and short lower wing walls. East and west sides both have chamfered plinth, buttresses with offsets flanking pointed chamfered arches with hoodmoulds and head stops. East side, facing street, has worn dedication inscription in Gothic lettering over arches, and a pair of armorial relief tablets in spandrels to central arch: one shield with arms of Stonehouse impaling Sanders, the other a lozenge with arms of Frances Sanders. Ridge- coped crenellations throughout. Pedestrian entrances have ornate Gothic- style cast-iron gates with dog-bars, decorative panels and finials. William Stonehouse and Frances Sanders were both notable local benefactors: in 1840 Stonehouse provided the church porch (in similar style to the churchyard archway), and Frances Sanders, besides gifts to the church, provided the Market Place Lamp (qv) and the Almshouses in Bagsby Lane (qv).
