Description
The lychgate at the Parish Church of St Mor is a gabled structure with rubble side walls and a simple early 20th-century slated roof, consisting of one bay. Inside, the roof features chamfered purlins and pegged and chamfered oak collar trusses, including a re-used arch-braced 16th-century truss on the north side facing the church. The lychgate has plain bargeboards and is accessed by a flight of five wide stone steps that lead up to it, with steps ascending halfway inside the structure. The central wrought iron gates, likely from the 18th century, have spear-headed railings with scrolled ends and lozenge bracing. In front of the lychgate on the south side is a cobbled section of pavement.
To the left of the lychgate, there is a rubble churchyard revetment wall that stands approximately 1.8 meters high. This wall curves around to the west in an arc for about 50 meters, defining the churchyard on that side.
