Lych Gate And Adjoining Building North Of East End Of All Hallows Church Of Saint Kea

The lych gate and adjoining building, located north of the east end of All Hallows Church of Saint Kea, date from around 1802 and are possibly designed by James Wyatt. The structure was re-roofed around 1896, and there is an early to mid-19th century building attached. The materials used include killas rubble with some dressed granite. The lych gate features a steep dry Delabole slate roof with open arch-braced gables, while the adjoining building has a hipped dry Delabole slate roof topped with clay ridge tiles.

The lych gate has a rectangular plan with a walkway flanked by side walls that include benches. The adjoining building is a single-storey, single-cell structure with a rectangular shape and a central entrance. The north front displays the building on the left and the lych gate on the right. The building has a symmetrical two-window front with a central doorway, a ledged door, and wooden shutters on the windows. There is a mounting block below the right-hand window and a letterbox marked "G P 0" in the wall to the right of the right-hand window.

The lych gate is supported by granite and killas piers that frame the gateway, which features a 19th-century wrought iron gate with finialled bars, closely set under a lock rail. Inside the lych gate, there is a granite grid floor (now filled), granite-coped side benches, and an arch-braced roof structure. The first church on this site, built in 1802, was designed by James Wyatt, and the walls of the lych gate may be the only surviving elements from that period. This site is included for its group value.
