Description
The lychgate, footgate, and attached churchyard walls to the Church of St Andrew were built in 1878 by G E Street. Constructed from sandstone ashlar with a tiled roof, the lychgate resembles a squat, diagonally-buttressed tower. It features a moulded segmental-pointed arch beneath a rolled hoodmould, with a fleuron eaves band beneath the cornice and an embattled parapet. The roof is pyramidal, and each side has windows with three stepped lights, some of which retain diamond lattice glazing. The double gates consist of two tiers of panelling, with the upper tier being open, cusped, and pointed. Inside, there is a cross-vaulted roof with a central boss and a wrought-iron lantern. The churchyard wall varies in height from 0.9 to 1.1 metres to accommodate the sloping ground and features low shouldered buttresses with sloped, roll-moulded coping. The footgate, located in the wall to the north, has square-section piers topped with gabled roll-moulded caps and a single panelled gate, where the upper panels are open and pointed.
