Description

The lychgate to the Church of St Mary, erected in memory of the late Colonel J.H. Deakin in 1883, features an ashlar plinth, a timber frame, and a stone slate roof. Three timber posts rise from the weathered stone plinth to support two gable trusses that have cusped openings. The inscribed wall plates are adorned with arched braces. The gates are vertically battened and equipped with cast iron hinges and spikes along the top. This structure is included for its group value.
