Lychgate, The South Gate To The Churchyard

The lychgate, which serves as the south gate to the churchyard, was built in 1888. It features a timber frame set on brick sleeper walls topped with Hamstone coping, and has a red tile roof adorned with crested ridge tiles. The structure has a gable-ended design with a two-bay roof supported by timber-framed side walls, each featuring a central trefoil-headed window. The side walls rest on brick walls with Hamstone coping.

Each gable end includes a cambered tie beam with a king post above, flanked by raking struts. Curving braces extend from the base of the posts to the tie beam, with moulded soffits and a chamfered soffit on the tie over the arch, featuring scroll stops at the junction with the braces. The front of the tie beam is inscribed with a Latin Biblical quotation in Gothic lettering, and the spandrels are decorated with open work quatrefoils. The roof extends slightly at each end, supported by small brackets, and the gable features shaped bargeboards. The underside is boarded, and there is a plain king post truss in the center. The original double gates are located at the front of the lychgate.
