Description
The Lych Gate to the Church of St. Barnabas is a structure likely built in 1859 by Sir Gilbert Scott. It features stone plinth walls with timber upper walls and a steeply pitched plain tiled roof. The gable ends have deep scalloped bargeboards adorned with floral roundels, along with decorative roll moulding along the edges. The roof has a ridge crest and small gablets at the center of each pitch. The cambered tie beams at the ends of the roof, which support braced King-posts, also have roll mouldings along their edges. The sides are half panelled and divided into two bays, with a pierced upper section and a central floral roundel. At the north end, there are paired three-panel gates that have pierced bottom rails, iron grilles in the open panels, and carved decoration. This lych gate is included for its group value with the church.
