Lychgate to St Peter's Churchyard

Gabled Gothic lychgate in rock-faced squared red Runcorn sandstone, with ashlar dressings in same stone. Low raised plinth, pointed arch, ashlar-coped roof and Celtic cross finial. Low gabled buttresses at right angles each side. Arch has plain splayed sides with mouldings dying in, hoodmould with finial above and linked below to stringcourse. Another stringcourse over hoodmould under framed inscribed plaque in gable. Apex trefoil with arms of lion rampant. Lettering to plaque largely decayed, but commemorates Rev. Latimer Maurice Jones, and the erection of the lychgate by public subscription. Elegant wrought iron gates within, rectangular grid with scrollwork and affixed LMJ plaques. Inside, the ashlar roof has chamfered parallel ribs dying into sides, and rock-faced stone low walls. E facade is similar but simpler with moulded arch dying into splayed side walls.
