9/186 Lantern on churchyard wall of - Church of St John about 6 metres east of lychgate
GV II
Lantern. Late C19. Wrought iron and glass on a granite plinth. The plinth is carved with the inscription "Lighten our darkness we beseech thee O Lord", and the initials J.N.G. and E.G. These are probably for James Nutcombe Gould (1849-1899) and Edith Gould (1859-1900), who are buried nearby. Above is the elaborate iron frame of the lantern, Gothic in style with a cross on top. Lantern is 10-sided with a shaped top; 8 of the sides are glazed, the centre-pieces being of the bulls- eyes of crown-glass sheets. The lantern originally contained an oil lamp, but is now lit by electricity. Source: information from elderly gardener in churchyard.
