Inner Lych Gate Approximately 12 Metres South Of Church Of St Mary

The inner lych gate, dated 1890, is located approximately 12 metres south of the Church of St Mary in Rockbeare. It is constructed from large blocks of red conglomerate ashlar, with grey limestone ashlar quoins and coping that features faint rustication. The gate has a red tile roof adorned with crested and pierced ridge tiles. The side walls are blind and full-height, with chamfered and straight cut stopped inner edges. The roof is hipped at both ends and includes small gablets filled with carved oak open quatrefoils set in circles.

At the front and back, there are oak low flat arches with moulded soffits and carved foliate spandrels. The front also displays the initials "TP" to the left and the date "1890." The gates are double and panelled, featuring a wrought iron crest of fleur-de-lys. Inside, the roof is boarded and supported by a central king post truss. From the front, two broad flights of six steps lead down to the outer graveyard, with the upper tier made of limestone and the lower tier of granite. The low parapets on each side match the style of the lych gate walls.
