Lychgate To Church Of St Cuthbert

The lychgate to the Church of St Cuthbert, built in 1848 by William Butterfield for Viscount Downe, is a notable structure made of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and timber, topped with a wood-shingle roof. It consists of two bays, featuring a gateway on the north side and a boiler house on the south. The design includes quoins, a chamfered plinth, and offset buttresses, with each bay having its own roof.

The gateway has later wooden gates that are not of special interest, and a low stone side wall that supports posts with arched braces to the plate. The central braces are cusped, creating a pointed-arched opening. The timber frame supports a hipped roof with gablets oriented along the east-west axis. The boiler house features a boarded door within a quoined, chamfered, pointed-arched surround on the east side, two quoined slit windows on the south side, and a ridge stack at the north end, with the roof being half-hipped at the south end.
