PAIGNTON

SX86SE BLAGDON ROAD, Collaton St Mary
1947-1/2/172 (North East side)
Lych Gate to Church of St Mary

GV II

Lych Gate. Probably contemporary with the church (qv),
1864-1866 and to the designs of the church architect, Rowell
of Newton Abbot. Local red breccia walls with bathstone
dressings support a timber structure with a slate roof.
PLAN: Sited below and S of the church. Low, coped stone walls
with an openwork timber superstructure support a gabled slate
roof with sprocketed eaves. The timber superstructure each
side is 3 bays of cusped arcading. Gables have tie beam
trusses with kingposts with curved braces and pierced
spandrels below the ties. Gable ends decorated with cusped
bargeboards with pierced decoration. Common rafter roof with
diagonal boarding behind the rafters. Pair of contemporary
openwork timber gates, complete with original hinges. Iron
verticals below the middle rail with fleur-de-lis finials and
cusped braces above.
Part of an attractive 1860s group including the church,
rectory and school.
