Boer War Memorial Lychgate, Church of St Bartholomew, Horley

The Boer War memorial lychgate at the Church of St Bartholomew in Horley was built around 1903. It is constructed from Wealden sandstone, Bath stone, and limestone plinths, with an oak frame and gates, topped by a clay tile roof.

The lychgate features a steep hipped roof with high-set gablets at both ends, the eastern gable containing a timber cross. The roof is supported by a Gothic-style carved-oak frame, which includes curved braces that spring from carved corbels. The frame panels are decorated with quatrefoils and other Gothic-style tracery.

On the front face, the cross-beam has an inset panel carved in relief that reads, "IN THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF OUR FELLOW PARISHIONERS WHO FELL IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR 1899-1902." Below this, the names "G C SARGENT" and "J T TURNBULL" are carved in relief on the braces. The rear face features similar carvings, including the name "A W CARLING" on the western brace, and the rear cross-beam is also carved in relief with "VICAR H T LEWIS CHURCHWARDENS BERNARD W PARSONS FRANK E GLOVER."

The lychgate is supported by two plinths made of Wealden sandstone, with Bath stone quoins and limestone coping. Between the plinths, there is a low-set pair of oak gates, which have turned spindles above vertically-oriented panels.
