16/14 Wall and Gates alongside road at Parish Church of St James and School House -
GV II
Wall and gates. 1860-61 presumably by G E Pritchett (1824-1912), architect for church, school and school house. Long flint wall with frequent red brick piers, red brick base course and chamfered coping. Uncoursed, knapped flint. Limestone block set in head of each pier has short cast iron finial in form of a cusped spearhead with raised flower on each face. These support a continuous square wrought iron rail twisted between supports, and terminating in a 4-hooked grapnel where coping begins to ramp up to each gate opening. Limestone projecting bottom block and quoins at each gate opening. Timber openwork gates with heavy cast iron hinges and cast iron capping with horizontal iron rail over capping. Idiosyncratic use of varied materials consistent with school, house and church. An interesting design by Pritchett, unusual and different from original proposal shown in perspective. (WEA II (1967) 28: Pevsner (1977) 196).
