Description

The lychgate, likely dating from the 17th century and incorporating earlier reused materials, stands immediately north of the Church of St Constantine. It is constructed of coursed granite with large dressed granite quoins and coping. The slate roof is similarly finished with dressed granite coping to the gable ends, which feature corbelled kneelers, and red clay crested ridge tiles. The lychgate comprises two gable end walls supporting the roof over an open way. Granite benches are built into the inside of the end walls. The floor is a granite grid stile, now filled with concrete. The roof structure is of 20th-century construction, featuring cranked collars morticed into the principal rafters, possibly replicating a previous roof design. Two large granite slabs, seemingly reused as gate posts on the north side, form the bases for a 19th-century wrought iron gate with spear-head shafts and semi-circular bracing beneath the mid rail. These slabs appear to be halves of a larger cross base, which originally contained a 14-inch square socket.
