History

Lychgate, probably of C18 date, built to serve the parish church. A series of incorporated sandstone corbels represent reuse of earlier material, possibly medieval.

Exterior

Limestone rubble construction with pitched slate roof and sandstone ridges; oversailing eaves and deep verges with expressed purlin ends. The roof is carried on rounded sandstone corbels, two to each face of the supporting gable walls. Late C19 panelled oak half-gates to the front (facing SW), with simple pierced tracery to the upper section. Towards the NE end are contemporary narrow rubble benches to the inner walls.
