Lychgate And Adjoining Churchyard Walls South Of Church Of St Gwendron

The lychgate with a vestry or parish room above, along with the adjoining churchyard walls, is located south of the Church of St Gwendron and is likely from the late 18th century. It features granite ashlar walls and a scantle slate roof with granite coped gable ends, as well as a granite ashlar chimney on the left-hand gable end. The structure has a rectangular plan with a wide passage on the ground floor that includes stone benches on either side and a central coffin rest. Access to the room above is via a flight of stone steps from the churchyard, with an additional longer flight of steps outside the churchyard walls leading to a doorway at the right-hand end.

The lychgate stands two storeys tall and includes a plinth and an impost band. It has a wide central elliptically arched doorway on both the front and rear, featuring a stepped projecting keystone. Above this doorway is a wide window, likely a 20th-century 18-pane two-light casement. There is a 19th-century door leading into the parish room and 19th-century wrought-iron railings along the steps. The inner doorway of the lychgate is fitted with old dowelled gates. The interior of the chamber above the gateway was not inspected.
