Cadw's description
Location
Situated in front of Holy Trinity Church on the N side of Gwernaffield Road close to its junction with Church Lane.
History
The gates were made from ironwork relating to chancel gates taken c1850 from St. Mary's Church, Mold. They had probably been designed by Robert Davies in c1726 or by Thomas Cheswise who made a matching set in 1732. Restored late C20.
Exterior
Pair of wrought iron gates set into stone piers. Wrought iron scrollwork cresting to top of gates with gilded foliated finials and scallop designs. The bottom rail has a set of smaller standards with foliation and spearhead finials.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine example of earlier C18 ironwork with local historical associations.
