Description

The churchyard wall and lychgate are located at the southeast corner of the Church of St Mary and St Edward. The wall is approximately 2 meters high, constructed of rubble with dressed stone coping. It features inset fragments of window tracery from a former Perpendicular church and several 17th-century gravestones that were removed from the churchyard. The lychgate, built around 1890, has ashlar dressings and a hipped stone-tiled roof supported by wooden piers. It includes two-leaf wooden gates. The wall holds social and historical significance, and the lychgate is part of a group with the garden temple that backs onto the northeast corner of the churchyard entrance forecourt.
