Description

The lychgate and churchyard walls at the Church of St Mary are notable features of the site. The churchyard wall is constructed from boulder rubble, with irregular boulder copings set on end, reaching a maximum height of 1.5 meters. It curves in a convex arc to the northwest, following the lane's curve and defining the churchyard. At the northwest corner, the wall ends with a pair of plain 20th-century iron gates. From this point, the boundary continues eastward as a revetment wall that sweeps around to the southeast, connecting to the main wall at the hearse-house.

Within the section of the wall that faces the road, approximately 6 meters west of the hearse-house, stands the lychgate. This structure has a gabled design made of rubble, with open eastern and western sides and a slated roof, although the front pitch has been renewed. The western side features an early 20th-century chamfered pine wall-plate with a simple relief-carved cross at the center. Inside, there are two modern steps leading down to a slate-flagged floor, and a pair of 19th-century plain wooden slatted half-gates is attached at the center.
