GV II

Former doorway into churchyard. 1515 or 1518. Ham stone. Block of stone about 1.2m wide and 400mm thick, 2m tall, with
moulded open pediment top, below which is a band of carved medieval Latin script, translated as "Let us go into the
house of God rejoicing", and on the other "Truly this is a holy place". Below this may be traced the outline of a
segmental arched doorway. Erected by Prior Chard of Montacute, also vicar of Tintinhull, possibly when repairs were
made to the churchyard wall using stone from the ruins of Montacute Castle: it may have been his private gate to the
parsonage (now Tintinhull Court, q.v), now replaced by the C18 gateway in churchyard south wall (q.v); this is the
preserved lintol. (Oswald, A: Country Life, 12 April l956, article p736 et seq.).
