Description
The Churchyard Lych Gate is a late 19th-century structure featuring a timber frame with limestone ashlar sleeper walls and a slate roof, designed in the Gothic style. It has two bays with side walls that are panelled below a middle rail and open above with a cusped tracery valance. The roof is gable-ended, adorned with cusped bargeboards at each end, and the eaves are shaped and swept on common rafters. Tie beam trusses create arches at both ends, with cranked and brattished tie beams, and the space above is filled with narrow struts. The centre bay showcases cusped tracery in the head, and the double gates are original to the structure.
