Lych Gate and Stone Wall Approximately 5 Metres North East of Church of St Swithin

The lych gate and adjoining stone boundary wall, located approximately 5 metres north-east of the Church of St Swithin, date from around 1879 and were designed by Edward Ashworth. The lych gate features a timber frame with iron fittings and a slate roof, while the boundary wall is likely from the same period. The lych gate is in the Gothick style with a gabled design, set on a 20th-century concrete plinth where it has rotted. It has a box frame made of moulded timbers, with weather-boarded sides below the middle rail. S-shaped braces above support the wall plate, and the roof projects at both the front and rear. The gable-end tie-beam trusses include crenellated ties, queen posts, and shaped bargeboards. The low-pitched slate roof is topped with a fleuree cross. The gates, which are panelled below the middle rail, retain their original ironwork. The adjoining volcanic stone wall to the west serves as the northern boundary of the churchyard. It is made of roughly coursed stone, including a significant amount of square ashlar on a rubble plinth, with steeply weathered coping, some of which has been replaced with 20th-century concrete aggregate. Approximately 3.5 metres to the right of the lych gate, there is an inscribed stone set below the coping that reads 'The Goode Heares of Fulford, Churchward, The Yeare 1682'.
