Lychgate At West Entrance To St Michael'S Churchyard

The lychgate at the west entrance to St Michael's Churchyard was built in 1908 by Thomas Henry Lyon. It is constructed from granite rubble and timber framing, with the upper storey covered in roughcast. The roof is slated, and there is a rendered chimneystack on the right-hand gable wall, located on the front slope of the roof. The structure features an open ground storey with a chamber above. On the left side, it is built against the gable of St Michael's Cottages, while the right side has a thick stone wall.

The entrance is flanked by thick roughcast columns without bases, topped with simple granite capitals that have round drops beneath each corner. In the center, there is a pair of wooden gates set in a segmental-headed frame with open spandrels. The upper storey has canted bay windows on each face. To the right of the west front, there is a niche containing a stone statue of St. Michael. Adjacent to this is a slate panel inscribed 'Restored in 1977 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II'. To the right of the gate, a flight of granite steps leads to the upper chamber. Beneath the gate, there are two stone tablets commemorating those who fell in the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars.
