Lychgate to Church of St Cian

The lychgate to the Church of St Cian is a Grade II listed structure featuring two squared-stone side walls, each with raking clasping buttresses reaching about 1 meter in height at both ends. A row of closely set small stone corbels supports timber brackets that hold an oversailing slate roof. The roof is adorned with fishscale slate bands, long sawn slate copings, a roll-topped ridge, and ornate High Victorian wrought iron leafy cross finials.

Black painted brackets curve out from the corbels to support horizontal beams on all four sides, with two brackets at each wall end, five on the outer side of each wall, and another just inside the inner wall carrying an inner beam. The gable end features five brackets that support a detached open-work timber framing consisting of a king-post, mid-rail, and vertical struts. The lychgate has paired front wooden gates with iron cresting and bars between the uprights. Low stone walls with squared rough stone copings extend out from each side of the front and then come forward towards the road.
