II*
Lychgate and attached walls. 1844-5, by William Butterfield, part of his first
Anglican commission. Coursed limestone rubble with freestone dressings, hipped
stone roof. Wide pointed coffin arch with similar smaller pedestrian arch to
left, low buttress between 2 arches; battered side walls. Original wooden gates
with open arcaded upper section. The lychgate rises from low walls enclosing the
churchyard to north and east, north range about 60 metres long, east range about
120 metres long; walls about ½ metre high in coursed rubble with moulded
limestone copings, buttresses at regular intervals. Henry Russell Hitchcock:
"Only the stone lychgate, with its simple forms and curious juxtaposition of
angles, suggests the pungent sort of originality Butterfield's finest work was to
display later". (Sources: Verey, D. : Buildings of England Gloucestershire :
