Description
The lychgate and attached walls, located about 15 metres south of the Church of St. Bartholomew, were built around 1850 by architect Butterfield. They are constructed from sandstone rubble with limestone dressings, and the lychgate features a stone tiled gabled roof.
The lychgate is positioned off-centre in the southern section of the wall, which encloses a roughly rectangular churchyard. It has walls on either side that include weathered buttresses and a plain stone pier that is off-centre. The low walls, approximately half a metre high, have heavy limestone coping and extend about 90 metres from east to west in the north and south sections, and about 35 metres from north to south in the east and west sections.
