A stone wall was built around the churchyard during the major restoration of 1864, and this stone stile presumably dates from that time, although modelled on a traditional form. It was placed on the line of the public footpath to Ryersh Lane and Ockley village, now footpath Capel 203. It also provides access to the graveyard extension to the rear of the churchyard (although there is a gateway, rather easier to negotiate, nearby).
