Lychgate and Churchyard Walls at Church of St Mary

The churchyard wall is of boulder rubble construction with irregular copings of boulders set on end, and stands to a maximum height of 1.5m. The wall curves around in a convex arc to the NW following the curve of the lane and defining the churchyard. At the latter's NW corner the wall returns to terminate with a pair of plain C20 iron gates. From this point the churchyard boundary continues eastwards as a revetment wall which sweeps around to the SE to join the wall proper at the hearse-house.

Within the road-fronting stretch of wall, approximately 6m W of the hearse-house, is placed the lychgate. This is a gabled rubble structure with open E and W sides; slated roof, the front (W) pitch renewed. The W side has an early C20 chamfered pine wall-plate with simple relief-carved cross to the centre; within are 2 modern steps down to a slate-flagged floor. A pair of C19 plain wooden slatted half-gates is affixed to the centre.
