Lych Gate On South Side Of Churchyard

The lych gate on the south side of the churchyard is likely from the 16th century and is constructed of coursed rubble stone. It features a pitched slate roof that is gabled at both ends, supported by stone tables and shaped stone kneelers. Each end has a flat moulded wood lintel adorned with ogee and quarter-round mouldings, resting on stone corbels. In the center, there is a wooden Tudor arch with hollow and quarter-round mouldings, although the jambs have been removed. The ceiling, which is boarded and likely from the 20th century, is supported by joists, some of which are original, and showcases hollow and three-quarter round mouldings with convex stops. The entrance is flanked on the south side by stone seats. There are late 18th or early 19th century double gates under the Tudor arch, which has rebates for original gates or doors on the north side. The gates feature three beaded flush panels below with an oblong-section grille of wooden balusters above, and are fitted with large wrought iron strap hinges. The floor between the seats is made of pitched stone.
