Description
The churchyard wall and lychgate, likely from the 18th century, are located immediately south of the church. The wall is made of stone rubble and features a rubble coping. It extends to the east side and north, returning to the western limit of the churchyard. There is an old iron gate at the northern entrance, flanked by square rubble piers. On the southern side, facing southwest, is a simple rubble lychgate with side walls that form gable ends beneath a slate roof.
