Description
The lychgate to the churchyard of St Andrew, built in 1915, is a churchyard structure featuring a timber frame with a brick base and a plain tile roof. It has a rectangular shape with fencing on either side. The western front includes square corner posts that are attached to inward-facing chamfered posts. There are low gates between these posts, which also have chamfered features, along with wrought iron hinges and handles. On either side of the gates, there are quadrant-shaped palisade fences above low brick walls, ending in square posts adorned with incised crosses and copper gable caps.
The central truss of the lychgate features a brattished tie beam supported by four-centered arched braces with decorative spandrels that spring from the inward-facing chamfered posts. There is a king post with lateral uprights and moulded barge boards on either side. The east face is similar, but the king post is replaced by a rectangular plaster tablet that reads on both sides: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF FREDERIC AND CORDELIA BARLOW AND THEIR SON EUSTACE HEPBURN BARLOW THIS LYCHGATE WAS ERECTED JULY 1915." The sides of the gate feature an open trellis pattern made of stout timbers.
