The wall forms the boundary between the churchyard and the Relais Hotel, to the east of the churchyard. The wall is approximately 22m long and 4.3m tall along its length, with a retained height of 3.1m. The height of the wall above the level of the ground in the churchyard, is approximately 1.2m. The wall is predominantly constructed of brick and flint media, with some infill timber and brick panels, with a plain tile and brick coping. The wall is Grade II listed.
