Description

The Lych Gate to the Church of St Michael is a Grade II listed structure built with timber framing and a slate roof. It features framed side panels with curved braces to the ground sills and Gothic tracery set in the frame panels. The gate has one central and two outer king-post trusses with curved struts. The roof slopes low on each side and is adorned with elaborately carved bargeboards, terminal crosses, and an oak carved figure of St Michael and the Dragon in an aedicule, which is mounted on a bracket at the entrance front. The outer tie beam is inscribed with "HTR/ QUEEN'S 1887 JUBILEE." A centrally placed pair of gates showcases open trefoil panelwork and iron spiked crestings.
