Description
The lychgate and attached walls to the cemetery were built in 1899 for the third Earl Manvers. The structure is made of ashlar, wood, and iron. The lychgate features a double wooden gate flanked by single ashlar walls that are at right angles to the gate. These walls are topped with open wooden framing that supports a hipped slate roof, which has sprocketed eaves and single carved animal heads at the corners. The ridge of the roof is adorned with a decorative cross. Extending at right angles from the flanking ashlar walls for about one metre are additional single ashlar walls, which are topped with decorative iron railings and end in single ashlar piers with moulded caps. The beam of the gate is inscribed with the words, "This Lychgate made of Sherwood Forest Oak was presented to the Parish of Cotgrave by Sydney William Herbert Third Earl Manvers A.D. 1899."
