Description
The churchyard walls and lychgate at St Agnes Churchtown date from the late 19th century, while the lychgate itself was built in 1935. The walls are constructed from Killas rubble with granite dressings and feature a dry Delabole slate roof. The lychgate has a rectangular shape with wide doorways at both the front and rear, and there are niches for benches on either side. The walls serve as the boundary between the churchyard and the road, topped with saddle-back granite coping. The lychgate is flanked by dressed granite piers at the doorway, and the gable ends have stone up to the gables, leading to open timber-framed gables. The original timber gates are still in place, and there is a coffin-rest at the center of the lychgate.
