Lych Gate To The Church Of St Paul

The lych gate to the Church of St. Paul is a late 19th-century structure designed by Henry Woodyer. It features stone piers with plain chamfers and a cornice, supporting a wooden roof that is arch-braced from the piers to two plain purlins. Above, there are scissor rafters and a scalloped ridge piece. Each pier has four semi-arch braces on the outside face leading to a plain rafter plate. The roof is gabled and covered with tiles, adorned with small gablets on either side and moulded, cusped bargeboards. The gate itself consists of a pair of framed wooden gates with three trefoiled-headed panels, a middle rail, and diagonal braces, topped with a moulded top rail. Some fragments of former spear-headed iron cresting remain. The lych gate is positioned along the axis from the road to the church tower.
