Description
The lychgate of St David's Church features a hipped slate roof supported by two rendered and whitened rubble stone piers on either side of the gate. The roof has metal hips and a ridge cover, with a low elliptical shape to the soffit between the piers. Central to the piers are monolith gatestones topped with pyramids. The wrought-iron gates have a rustic design, including close-set dog-railings at the bottom, a middle band decorated with lozenges, and a top crest featuring curls and lozenge shapes.
