Description
The lychgate to the Church of St Constantine is a late 19th-century structure made of stone rubble, timber, and slate, featuring timber gates. Designed in a Gothic style, it has stone rubble walls topped with granite capping that support an open timber framework with a slate roof that is gabled at both ends. The gable ends feature arch brace trusses with a king post and struts above a brattished collar. The arch braces are moulded and include carved spandrels. Each side of the lychgate has three 2-light open traceried panels with moulded mullions. Ornamental cusped bargeboarding decorates each gable, and the roof is finished with crested ridge tiles and a floriated cross. This lychgate is included for its group value with the church.
