Cadw's description
Location
Forms the boundary of a small forecourt in front of the entrance to the church.
History

Exterior
Stone piers mark outer angles of forecourt on Clwyd Street, and similar piers flank the entrance gates. They have recessed pointed arched panels and shallow pyramidal copings. Cast-iron spear head railings on low stone plinth (a short length of railings near the corner with Brighton Road removed during WWII), and similar paired gates to centre.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with the Welsh Presbyterian Church.
