Description
St Cenydd's Lychgate is a timber-framed structure located to the northwest of the churchyard, featuring double timber gates. It is supported by four corner-posts with large curved braces connecting to the tie-beams. The lychgate has a low-pitched slated roof with a tile ridge, and it features a large verge overhang supported by curved brackets, along with generously scalloped bargeboards on both the front and rear.
Above the tie-beams at the front and rear, there are quatrefoil-pierced fascias. Each side of the lychgate has three open lights adorned with gothic tracery and cinquefoil scalloping, while rendered panels are positioned below the side lights. There is a shallow seat on each side, and the structure stands on stone plinths.
The gates, which were added later, have posts intricately carved with animals and panels depicting scenes from the lives of St Cenydd and St David. Stone paving extends from the gates to the road.
