The wall of brick and rubble returns along the side of the churchyard to join the side of the Old Rectory barn. To the left of the gate piers on Broad Street, the boundary wall runs as far as Canon's Lane where it runs back to join the side elevation of the house.
Front wall and gate piers are shown on J.M.ince's view of 1832.
