Lychgate, Attached Churchyard Walls And Footgate To South, To Church Of St Andrew

The lychgate, attached churchyard walls, and footgate to the south of the Church of St Andrew were built in 1872 by G E Street for Sir Tatton Sykes. The lychgate features a timber-framed structure set on sandstone ashlar walls, topped with a tiled roof. The walls are rusticated with sandstone ashlar coping. The footgate includes wrought-iron work. The lychgate has an arch-braced king-post roof supported by stone walls that are approximately 1.2 metres high, and it features an arcade of six round-arched lights beneath the arch. The churchyard walls are rock-faced, standing approximately 0.9 to 1.2 metres high, and they step to follow the sloping ground, ending in gabled coping. The footgate is marked by square-section piers with gabled, roll-moulded caps that have incised crosses. It also has a round-arched overthrow with a lamp bracket and cross finial, along with a four-panel gate, where the top panels are open and pointed.
