Lychgate And Boundary Wall On South West And South Sides Of St Pancras Churchyard

The lychgate and boundary wall on the south-west and south sides of St Pancras Churchyard date from the late 19th century and the 16th or 17th century, respectively. The structure is primarily made of granite ashlar, except for the main length of the south boundary wall, where only the west end is ashlar and the remainder is constructed from rubble. The lychgate features a simple design with a roof supported by stone gable-walls. The roof is slated and has raised copings that are corbelled out at the front. It has a trussed rafter roof with pegged joints. Below the roof, the opening is divided by a stone wall approximately 1 meter high, which may have served as a coffin-rest, topped with a capstone that has moulded edges. The boundary wall stands about 1.5 meters high and has a flat coping that is hollow-moulded on the outer edge, continuing along the western half of the south wall beyond where the ashlar walling ends.
