Lychgate And Walls Around St Mary'S Churchyard

The lychgate and walls around St Mary's churchyard were built in 1880 for the walls and in 1907 for the gate. The walls are made of flint with brick bands and dressings, featuring reused very old stone coping. The timber lychgate stands on a dressed stone plinth and has an old plain tile roof. The walls are 1.5 to 2 meters high, with brick dressings at 2 to 3 meter intervals and stone coping that may have come from the old church. The lychgate has a square plan with wide gates at one end, and it features three carved trefoiled open panels above lower panels with additional carving. The gabled roof has wide eaves and iron crosses at each end, along with carvings in the gables. Inside, there are benches set longitudinally with carved ends and an inscription around the wallplate.
