Description
The lychgate and churchyard boundary walls were built between 1853 and 1854, designed by architect G.E. Street, who was the Oxford Diocesan Architect. The walls are constructed of rubble with weathered coping and a roll ridge, which is a characteristic feature of Street's work. The wall is relatively low, measuring about 3 to 5 feet high, and it steps down the slope, marking the west boundary of both the former school and the Church of SS Simon and Jude. A section of the wall returns to form the north boundary of the churchyard. The wall angles in at the lychgate, which features styles. The lychgate itself has been restored and is made of oak on a stone base, displaying 13th-century French Gothic details, although some parts are damaged. It includes chamfers with pyramidal stops, a cusped bargeboard, and a concrete tile roof. Internally, the lychgate has two bays with a central base truss, and it is fitted with 20th-century gates in the style of Street.
