History
Retaining wall to churchyards, uncertain date with two gateways of c. 1865. One of the first jobs of David Davies of Llandinam is said to have been cutting the path from the gates to the S door as previously the churchyard path was raised to the height of the burial ground each side.
Exterior

S entrance has later C19 monolith Gothic gatepiers of sandstone, with plinth, trefoil panel and gabled top with trefoil moulded cresting. Large cast-iron ornate Gothic gates with traceried design and cresting. Wrought iron scrolled iron overthrow with octagonal lamp holder. N entrance has plain C19 monolith gate piers and pair of smaller similar cast-iron Gothic gates.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with church and for quality of the cast-iron gates.
