Kibworth Cemetery lych gate and iron gate

The Kibworth Cemetery lych gate and iron gate were built in 1894 and are attributed to Edward Mason. The lych gate is a rectangular, single-storey structure with a steeply pitched clay tile roof featuring eaves that flare outwards, creating a significant overhang. The building is set on a brick base, ten courses high, with the lowest course using blue bricks and the remainder in red. A chamfered stone coping runs along the top of the brickwork, supporting a timber-framed superstructure with rendered panels. The gable ends, facing both the cemetery to the northeast and Harborough Road to the southwest, each contain arched double timber doors. These doors are set within a stepped rectangular architrave with carved foliage decorating the spandrels. Above the doors, each gable end features six timber studs flanked by rendered panels, with a single ogee-headed panel either side of the doors. The side elevations, above the brick base, have timber studs interspersed with four rendered panels with ogee-headed mouldings and three stained glass windows, the central one being double. The windows display floral designs within cusped tracery. Inside, the walls are lined with narrow wood strips, and the floor is of herringbone brick. Benches are set against the walls, separated by wooden columns with stylized capitals from which arched roof braces spring. Outside the Harborough Road entrance, three stone steps lead to an iron gate comprised of simple posts and rails, decorated with scrollwork and finials, aligned with the lych gate doors and set within a modern metal fence.
