Description
The lychgate at the Church of St Curig is a 19th-century structure built of random stone and covered with a slate roof. It features entrances on both the north and south sides, with shallow arched wooden tie beams terminating in depressed ogee heads. The gables are clad with 19th-century vertical boarding, decorated with wave moulding on the north side and zig-zag moulding on the south side.
The roof is of two bays, with a central truss also supported by a depressed ogee-arched tie-beam, resting on corbels. Raked struts are positioned above the tie-beam, and diagonal wind-braces are placed above the purlins, all secured with pegs. A carved inscription on the north side of the central tie-beam reads 'GD (W) SH 1740 DG (C) IO', likely representing the churchwardens George David and Solomon Hamer, and potentially the carpenters. Beneath the gate are a pair of double wooden gates, with a central rail and open panels featuring trefoiled heads.
