Description
First World War memorial lych gate, 1921.
MATERIALS: a red brick base with timber above, with a tiled roof and quarry-tiled floor.
PLAN: forming the entrance to the cemetery on the north-west boundary.
DESCRIPTION: the lych gate has a brick base with a timber screen above, and a pitched roof. The outer elevation faces north-west, and is a symmetrical composition. Entrance is through a pair of low timber gates with arched openings and slatted panels. Rising from the base, a series of timber posts form a screen of trefoil-arched openings along either side. The roof is supported by box-framed gable trusses, with arching tie-beams. The gable barge boards have quatrefoil piercings at their feet. The tie beam on the north-west is inscribed ‘IN MEMORIAM / 1914 / 1918'. Panels on the north-west elevation of the base record the details of the restoration of the lych gate in 1995. Internally, there are fixed timber benches with boarded backs along either side, and the floor is tiled.
