Description
Built of local rubble stonework, with a slate roof. The structure is in the form of a broad gable over a narrow passage between two low store rooms, probably originally for a bier and gravedigger's equipment. The outward facing pointed arch contains iron gates. To either side, double boarded timber doors inserted beneath monolithic stone lintels. The facade continues both sides as the churchyard wall.
The passageway is high, with exposed rafters, and without a rear gate. The internal walls are rendered, but cutaway panels expose two inscribed stones, one recording the building in 1847 by Revd G Owen MA, the other reading WE HR WARDns / 1747.
