Description
The lych gate to St Mark's Church was built around 1920, funded by Mr and Mrs Dent of Curzon House, Chester, to celebrate the safe return of their sons, Captain RWF Dent and Lieutenant HA Dent, from the Great War (1914-1919). It is constructed of squared snecked red sandstone with ashlar dressings and features oak framing and a stone-slate roof. The gate includes a pair of panelled oak gates on wrought-iron hinges. The wall-plates, particularly the one on the left (north-east), are inscribed. The outer gable has a camber-beam supported by shaped brackets and two quatrefoil-braced panels. Each side of the gate-chamber has four intermediate posts and tension braces, while the inner gable displays a king post expressed as the Cross.
