Description

The lych gate located to the south of the Church of St Peter and St James is likely from the 1870s, built around the same time as the restoration of the parish church. It features a slate roof with gablets at both ends, supported by chamfered, stopped open timber ends resting on stone walls. There are timber gates on either side of a timber coffin rest.
