Cadw's description
Location
Situated near the centre of Haverfordwest, on the E side of Barn Street near its junction with City Road and Perrots Road.
History
Gates and railings to Baptist chapel of 1878 by George Morgan. The cast-iron railings are exceptionally ornate and are probably from the foundry of W. A. Baker of Newport, Mon.
Exterior
Exceptionally ornate cast-iron railings on a rock-faced stone wall with ashlar coping and gatepiers. Rails are to a roundel pattern repeated more ornately in the big double gates.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as exceptionally ornate later C19 cast-iron work, and for group value with the chapel.
