Description
The lychgate to the Church of St. John the Baptist was built in 1867, likely designed by Charles Kirk of Sleaford for Joseph Dent of Ribston Hall. It is constructed from pink sandstone and ashlar, topped with a slate roof. The structure has a square plan and is open-sided, featuring a Gothic style with double-chamfered arches on each side and diagonal buttresses. The gables are finished with ashlar coping, and the roof is steeply pitched. Inside, there is a stone bench on the north side and a groined vault. The gate is made of wrought iron, standing approximately 1.2 meters high, with pointed bars, short dog-bars, and bands of scroll ornament. The lychgate is positioned against the mound of the old church, which was rebuilt in 1867, allowing for passage through the south and west sides of the structure rather than the usual direct route through the south and north.
