Description

A lych gate, of timber, with tiled roof. At either side are curved walls constructed of rubble sandstone with limestone dressings. The piers and gate appear to be the work of EW Pugin or PP Pugin. Square piers with domed caps are arranged as pairs and terminate the walling to either side of the gate, where they are set diagonally, and at the end of the curved walling, where they mark the juncture with the enclosure walls of the graveyard (which are not part of this assessment). The wooden structure of the gateway has angled braces with chamfered edges and the tiled roof has alternating rows of plain and fish-scale tiles. The pair of gates has chamfered uprights and a middle rail with a cross to their upper bodies. They are similar in their details to the Gates and Gate Piers about 30 yards east of the Abbey Church of St Michael and All Angels.
