Description
The lychgate to the Parish Church is a timber structure built on low stone walls, featuring a gabled slate roof with red tile ridges and Celtic cross finials. It has six pairs of squared timber uprights that rise from rock-faced coursed stone side walls, which include square end piers. The roof is supported by a simple collar-rafter design, but the front gable showcases elaborate carved Gothic work. This includes a brattished tie-beam with an open ogee cusped arcade featuring three quatrefoils above, and an ornately cusped matching bargeboard. The tie beam is inscribed with the words "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." The lychgate also has paired timber gates and a simpler rear truss with a tie-beam, collar, queen struts, and diagonal struts. To the left of the lychgate, along the street, there is a rubble stone wall that features a projecting three-sided stone, which is a fragment of an ancient stone cross, with a modern rendered cross set above it.
