Description
The lychgate and remains of a cross located southeast of the Church of St Mary date from the late 17th century or early 18th century, while the cross itself is likely medieval. The lychgate is open and features granite ashlar rectangular end piers, which have narrow pilaster buttresses on their outer sides, topped with granite weathering. These piers support a hipped slate roof, which has undergone significant renewal, possibly being entirely replaced in the late 19th century. A slender octagonal granite post, which appears to be a churchyard cross with its arms cut off, supports the roof at the middle of the east side. Inside the lychgate, there is a low stone wall from the 19th century topped with iron railings and a 20th-century gate.
