Lychgate And Attached Churchyard Wall, Approximately 50 Metres South-West Of Church Of St Hilda

The lychgate and attached churchyard wall, located approximately 50 metres south-west of the Church of St Hilda, dates largely from the late 18th century, with part of it rebuilt along with the lychgate around 1912, likely by C Hodgson Fowler. The wall is constructed of mottled red brick in English garden wall bond, topped with sandstone coping. The timber-framed lychgate features a stone slate roof and is set between dressed sandstone walls. The lychgate has a queen strut roof supported by cambered, embattled ties with central bosses, and arch braces on half-octagonal posts with carved capitals. The gable ends are barge-boarded and adorned with pendant finials. It has low double gates on wrought-iron strap hinges, and on either side, there are seven traceried lights raised on a stone wall that is approximately 1.5 metres high. The stone walls have moulded, filleted coping, while the brick wall has cambered coping. This structure is included for its group value.
