Description

The lych-gate to the church of St John is a structure dating from 1900, featuring two dressed stone walls topped with rough coping and finials. It supports a narrow stone slate roof that rests on Tudor-arched ovolo-moulded bressumers. The gate itself is wooden, and on the western end, there is a re-used unfinished 16th-century dripstone. The lych-gate is said to incorporate medieval worked stone with masons marks resembling those found at Raglan Castle. A pink granite tablet commemorates the restoration of the lych-gate in memory of the 2nd Lord Raglan.
