A twenty-metre section of rubble-stone boundary wall that had bellied and partially collapsed after a wet winter.
The wall is shown on the 1840 tithe map and forms part of the listed setting of the church. We dismantled the failed section by hand, laying stones out in courses on tarpaulins so each could be returned close to its original bed.
Rebuilding followed traditional double-skin construction with long throughs every metre, a generous heart of pinning stones, and a triangular cock-and-hen coping. No mortar was used.
Where individual stones had been lost to frost, we sourced matching oolitic limestone from a small quarry six miles away.
