Description

The lychgate at the south entrance to the churchyard is a structure from the late 19th century, built in memory of Charles Glynn Prideaux-Brune and Ellen Jane Prideaux-Brune. It features stone rubble and a timber frame infilled with slate, topped by a slate roof with gable ends. The lychgate serves as the south entrance to the Church of St Petroc, aligned directly with the south porch. It has stone rubble side walls and gables that are timber framed with slate stone infill. The gables include a cambered inscribed bressumer with a chamfered soffit, supported by jowled timber posts. There are granite-topped benches on the side walls.
