Description
The lychgate to the Church of St John the Evangelist was built around 1885, likely designed by the architectural firm Paley and Austin, and funded by Sir Gilbert Greenall. It is constructed from red sandstone and features a Westmorland green slate roof with half-timbered gables supported by brackets. The design is associated with the church, suggesting it was created by the same architects.
