Lych Gate And Coffin Rest At Approximately South Of Church Of Saint Gothian

The lych gate and coffin rest, located approximately south of the Church of Saint Gothian, is a notable structure built around 1865-1867 by Edmund Sedding. It incorporates 15th-century piers and arches from the former south arcade of the church. The construction features granite rubble with granite dressings and a dry Delabole slate roof with projecting verges and eaves.

The design includes a grid stile with thick side walls that incorporate the 15th-century piers as responds to an arched doorway at both the front and rear. The coffin rest, made from a 13th-century tomb slab, is situated just outside the lych gate in the middle of the path leading to the church's south porch. The exterior showcases buttressed abutments at the front and rear with 4-centred arches, and the 15th-century standard A piers respond to these arches. The roof structure is highlighted by projecting wavy-edged barge boards over an exposed king post.
