Description

The lych gate at the south entrance to the churchyard of the Church of St Peter and St Paul was built in 1930 by W D Caröe in memory of Mrs Luard's husband and son. It is made of dressed local sandstone and features a gambrel roof covered with graduated stone slates, along with pierced wooden infill at the gablet ends.

The gate has a two-bay roof, with the north front facing the churchyard. The south front includes set-back buttresses with offsets that reach to the eaves. It has a flat wooden lintel supported by corbelled wooden uprights, low wooden double gates adorned with wrought iron cresting, and four-light openings on the returns that are pierced by a double row of turned balusters. The north front features a depressed segmental arch. Inside, a tie beam is inscribed with the names of Charles Willard Hagley Luard, born March 1914 and died 1928, and his father Major Charles Luard, who died in September 1914. This lych gate is noted for its good design.
