Churchyard Walls And Lychgate At Church Of All Saints

The churchyard walls and lychgate at the Church of All Saints were built around 1878, possibly designed by Arthur Blomfield. They are constructed from sandstone with freestone dressings and feature timber-framing. The lychgate has a cross-gabled shingle roof with lead roll ridges. The low sandstone boundary wall surrounds the churchyard on the north, west, and south sides, topped with saddle-back coping and weathered raking buttresses. There are pedestrian gateways with gate-piers that have gableted caps, and an ornate cast-iron lamp standard is located at the east end of the north wall. At the west end of the north side, the walls curve into the lychgate, which has low stone lateral plinth walls and an open timber-frame superstructure. This superstructure includes curved braces to the tie-beams, cusped panels in the gables, ornate cusped bargeboards, and a small cross finial on the ridge.
