Description

Lych-gate of rock-faced rubblestone with ashlar dressings; slate roof. A tall cross-gabled building with stepped coping to gables, the front one of which has an elaborate iron cross to apex; smaller stone crosses to end gables. Front and rear gables have high pointed hollow-chamfered arches under hoodmoulds with carved label-stops, buttressed below; decorated iron gates to front arch and mock gun-loop above. Further stepped buttressing to corners of main structure with large head-stops to top from which cast-iron downpipes run down the sides of the buttresses.

Churchyard wall of irregularly coursed rubblestone with stone-on-edge coping to earlier parts, principally to north-east and south-west; rebuilt in similar stonework to that of lych-gate where it adjoins this structure.

Lych-gate has foliated corbels inside as springing for timber and plaster rib vaulting, much decayed at time of Survey.
