Lynchgate To Church Of Holy Trinity

The lychgate to the Church of Holy Trinity is a mid to late 19th-century structure located on Lyne Lane in Lyme. It is built from coursed rock-faced stone and features a timber superstructure topped with a stone slate roof. The lychgate has a square plan and is designed in the Gothic style. The walls are approximately 1 metre high and support an open timber structure with cusped and perpendicular-style tracery. On the west side, facing the road, there are two-leaf gates beneath a brattished tie beam, which is inscribed with the phrase "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE." Above the gates is pointed-arched tracery, and the gable is adorned with cusped and foliage-decorated barge boards. Inside, there are wooden benches. This lychgate is included for its group value with the church.
