Description
The lychgate at the Church of St. Anne, likely built in the late 1860s alongside the church's rebuilding, features squared, coursed red stone with white ashlar dressings and a tiled roof. The gateway is set within a wall that has flanking buttresses on either side and a cantilevered roof above. It has double wooden gates, each with a frame and brace, and iron rails at the center and bottom topped with spikes. Above the gates is a moulded arch with mouldings that die into the flush sides. Each buttress has a plain plinth and a single offset that extends at right angles to the wall, which slopes down to the same level. Above the cantilevered hipped roof, curved braces rise from corbels. A stone gable rises above the roof, featuring moulded copings, a cross gablet at the foot, and a simple cross on a square base at the apex. Below this, above the tiled roof, is a cross in a mandorla. The rear face of the lychgate mirrors the front.
