Description
The lychgate to the Church of St Mary is a mid-18th century structure. It is built of rubble with freestone dressings and quoins on the entrance elevation to the south, while the lateral walls are rendered. The lychgate features a steeply pitched slate roof with a gabled bellcote on the south side and rendered copings. The south elevation, which faces the street, has three stone steps leading up to a pointed arched entrance that is fitted with double gates. The side piers of the entrance have raking plinths and moulded springing courses. Above the entrance, there is a clock face set in a moulded surround. The eaves are adorned with gabled finials at the corners and are scrolled at the head, with a single gabled bellcote at the apex.
The north gable, which faces the church, features a cambered archway with a brick head. Above this archway, there is an inscribed stone that bears the date 1755, and above the datestone, there is a circular window that has been filled in with brick. The interior has rendered walls and a modern boarded ceiling.
