Lychgate and adjoining churchyard walls. 1877. Lychgate has side sleeper walls of local stone rubble with sandstone ashlar quoins and coping. It is timber framed above. The side walls are an open arcade with trefoil-headed bays. The roof is slate with bands of scallop-shaped slate with crested ridge tiles. It is gable-ended with cusped bargeboards each end and wrought iron apex crosses. Each end are tie beam trusses with king post and curving braces. Original timber double gates with diagonal cast iron grilles over the middle rails and a cast iron crest with fleur-de- lys finials. The floor and flight of 5 steps down to the lane are slate. Each side stone rubble churchyard walls ramp down to revet the churchyard. Source: J Clemens. Church guide (1983).
