Listed grade II (list entry 1149480) and described as 'Good mid C19 lamp post with cast iron standard with trefoil arcading, ladder bars and Windsor lantern'. The lantern (which would originally have been gas-lit from the nearby gas works at New Park) has disappeared since it was listed in 1975. A church member told me of plans to install modern bollard lighting to the drive.
