Description

In a boundary wall on the main road through the village there are two reused engaged columns with scallop capitals, in a very worn state. The pieces are part of a gateway in the brick wall delimiting a property known as The Old Rectory (Pevsner & Neave 1995, 383). There is now (2005) a large new house being built on the site. The wall is listed, but the stonework is in a very poor state, yet somehow, in places, the tooling remains.

Loose Sculpture

Comments/Opinions

The ensemble is said to have come from the parish church of St Michael: the elements were presumably dismantled when the church was rebuilt in 1862-3. The parish church and Main Street are connected by a footpath through a field, and formerly through the (Old) Rectory grounds.
