Description

A stone doorway set in a wall, with a pointed arch whose edges are carved with rows of leaf and bud ornament. Above the wooden door, a panel of stone openings divided by slender stone mullions sits under a carved boss at the apex of the arch. The stonework is weathered, with some of the carving worn or broken.
