Description
This lychgate, located approximately 20 metres to the north-east of the Church of St Lucia, was built around 1856, likely by the architect G.E. Street. It features grey sandstone ashlar walls with a timber-framed superstructure and a steeply-pitched hipped roof covered in plain tiles. The low walls have chamfered tops and broach buttresses. The roof includes arch bracing with circular holes in the spandrels, and there is a pair of wooden gates with four panels each. G.E. Street also restored and extended the Church of St Lucia in the same year.
