GV II

Local grey slatestone rubble; lych gate with slate roof and timber gates. Plan: the walls bound the churchyard on the S and SW sides. The S stile is connected to a steep path up from the town which begins as a long flight of steps (qv Station Road). Lych gate to the SW, fronting the road access from the town with a second stile to its E. The rubble walls are topped by a Devon hedgebank. The stiles each have large, irregular rounded standards with a single slab of slatestone between. Unusual lych gate design. 2 widely-spaced square section piers at either end are surmounted with pyramidal finials. Slate roof between, with a plastered soffit. A pair of gates in the centre are hung off moulded timber posts which extend to the roof of the lych gate. Pedestrian gate to the left; section of fencing to the right. The gates and fencing are of simple design with plain splat verticals with a slender central ledge, the main standards with shaped finials. Included for group value with the Church of Holy Trinity (qv), which is sited on a hilltop above the town.
