Description

WEYMOUTH

SY7083 CHURCH ROAD, Preston 873-1/9/465 (South side) Lych gate to Church of St Andrew

GV II

Lych gate. 1911 (RCHME). Ashlar plinth, timber frame, tile roof. Square plan, with plinth walls to chamfered top and plain tile sill carrying a moulded plate; the sides have a flat segmental arch with central drop above a transom on 4 vertical rails, and the returned ends have a narrow bay each side to a pointed arch, with an arch-braced centre bay. Timbers generally are chamfered and stopped. The front has a low pair of C20 gates. The hipped gambrel roof with small open gablets to N and S has diagonal struts to the hip rafters, and is boarded below the tiles. A short wooden bench each side. A tablet to the front records a restoration of 1950. This is of interest architecturally, but also historically because it incorporates timbers rescued from the C15 Court House at Sutton Poyntz, formerly located opposite Sutton Mill (qv), and destroyed by fire in 1908. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 362).
