Description

The lychgate to the west of the Church of St. Michael is likely from the 19th century and may incorporate earlier materials. It is constructed of stone rubble and granite and serves as the entrance to the churchyard. The lychgate features two low side walls made of stone rubble, topped with moulded granite coping, which is probably partly reused. In the center, there is a coffin rest made of stone rubble, also with moulded granite coping. Stone rubble and granite steps lead up to the lychgate and the churchyard.
