Description

Built of granite with a pitched slate roof. Double gate entry from the road to a wide interior paved with pebbles, and slate and slopes down to the wide opening to the churchyard. Both openings are covered by a large single slab of stone of irregular shape, on further corbel slabs, the inner opening having a square opening to admit more light set asymmetrically above the lintel. The entry against the road appears to have been originally arched.

The roof is carried on re-used oak purlins and a ridge and has open rafters with plaster between each. The passage has one shallow recessed seat each side immediately behind the outer gates, perhaps for mendicant pilgrims.
