Description

This lychgate likely served the nearby Methodist Chapel. It was probably built around the early 19th century. The construction uses killas and granite rubble with granite dressings. It has a scantle slate roof with gabled ends at both the front and rear. The design is square and features a wide archway at the front, with a similar archway of reduced width at the rear. Stone benches are positioned on either side. The exterior remains largely unaltered, except for the blocked-up windows in the side walls and a partially blocked rear doorway.

Local climate

Lychgate receives an average of 920 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 70% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 91% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 4 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 98% of listed buildings. Of these, 2 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
