Parish Room and Lych Gate

The Parish Room and adjoining lych-gate in Marwood Village date from the 19th century and include fragments of walls from an earlier building. The structure is made of shale rubble and features a gable-ended slate roof with a 19th-century brick stack at the gable end. It is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there is a plank door to the left with a plain timber lintel. To the right, at the angle with the lych-gate, are external stone steps leading to a first-floor doorway. The lych-gate, positioned at right angles, is constructed of shale rubble and has a slate gable-ended roof that extends over the gateway, supported by the end gable wall. Inside the upper end of the lych-gate extension, there is a chamber with a high barred opening at eaves level. The lych-gate features a pair of timber gates, each with eight turned pole bars that are boarded below.
