Description
The lych gate located 45 metres west of the Church of St. Edmund was built in 1906. It features sandstone ashlar side walls and an oak superstructure made of heavy scantling, topped with a graduated green slate roof. The gate consists of a pair of heavy, panelled oak gates that have moulded, scrolled tops. The side walls are finished with chamfered coping that has a flat top, and each wall supports two posts with arched braces that carry the cross-beams of the roof. The roof is steeply pitched and gableted, with the shaped ends of the rafters projecting slightly beyond the eaves. This structure is included for its group value.
