Description

The lych-gate and churchyard wall at the Church of St Twrog are notable features from the 19th century. The lych-gate is constructed of rock-faced rubblestone with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. It is a tall, cross-gabled structure with stepped coping on the gables. The front gable features an elaborate iron cross at the apex, while smaller stone crosses adorn the end gables. Both the front and rear gables have high pointed hollow-chamfered arches beneath hoodmoulds with carved label-stops and are buttressed below. The front arch is fitted with decorated iron gates, and there is a mock gun-loop above. The corners of the main structure have further stepped buttressing, topped with large head-stops from which cast-iron downpipes descend along the sides of the buttresses.

The churchyard wall is made of irregularly coursed rubblestone, with stone-on-edge coping on the earlier sections, primarily located to the north-east and south-west. The wall has been rebuilt in a similar style to that of the lych-gate where it connects to this structure.

Inside the lych-gate, there are foliated corbels that serve as supports for timber and plaster rib vaulting, which has significantly decayed by the time of the survey.
