Description
The lychgate at the Parish Church of St Deiniol is a simple vernacular structure built from slatestone rubble, featuring a renewed slate roof with slated verges. It has steeply-pitched gables with pointed-arched openings at both the front and rear, which are framed with rough-dressed voussoirs. Inside, the original roof structure includes chamfered oak purlins and plain rafters. The front of the lychgate is fitted with simple mid-Victorian iron half-gates, complemented by spear-headed railings with scrolled ends.
On the inner right wall, there is a long quoin that is incised with the date 1725 and the initials 'LL T SD'. The surrounding walls, also made of rubble, serve as revetments for the churchyard and rise to an average height of 1.20 meters, sloping slightly upwards on either side of the lychgate. These walls outline the roughly oval shape of the churchyard and are topped with slatestone copings and plain 19th-century railings.
