Penistone Church

Churchyard and Exterior
The lychgate on the West (tower) side was built in 1959 (see church history page). Some stone features in the west doorway are from a very old demolished chapel. Unsafe gargoyles were removed from the tower years ago and now languish in the church yard. Stained glass windows are now protected by perspex sheets from aimless youths who patrol this area.

A 'sensory' garden was built at the lower part of the churchyard in 2006. Small plaques make the walk through this part of the churchyard more interesting. Compare the pictures top-right as they are from almost the same viewpoint. It leads straight to the PDCP offices, across Shrewsbury Road. The wrought iron archway arrived a few months after the walkway was built.
