Description
"Triumphal Gateway", built 1859-60, on a symmetrical plan. Repointed coursed rubble granite walls with ball finial-topped cut-granite coping including ball finial-topped cut-granite coping (top tier) centred on cut-granite bellcote framing embossed cast-iron bell.

Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Saint Anne's Catholic Church.
Appraisal
An eye-catching "Triumphal Gateway" forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside Saint Anne's Catholic Church (see 15701819) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village street scene.
