Lych gate and attached stone and flint wall, Church of St Giles

The lych gate, built in 1887 to the designs of John Oldrid Scott, is located approximately 50 meters south-east of the Church of St Giles. It is accompanied by a stone and flint wall that runs broadly north-south and returns to the west for around 20 meters at its northern end.

The lych gate features a gabled structure with a set of carved gates on its eastern side, which serves as the entrance to the churchyard as it was in 1887, before the consecration of the south-eastern extension in 1911. The walls are made of stone and knapped flint, providing support for the timber structure. The gate itself consists of richly-carved timber members that are traditionally pegged together. Designed in an elaborate Gothic Revival style, it includes cusped openwork on the sides and pierced bargeboards adorned with foliate patterns and central pendants that hang over the pointed arches on both the east and west sides. The roof is covered with plain clay tiles and rounded ridge tiles.

The low-set knapped flint and stone wall not only supports the lych gate but also extends approximately 20 meters to the south and north, with a return section to the west marking the boundary of this part of the churchyard. The ashlar stone dressings feature chamfered edges on the capping stones at the corners of the wall.
