History

Lychgate of timber set on an ashlar and rubble saddleback plinth wall with a hipped plain tile roof with terracotta ridge and slender iron crucifix finial. Roof is supported by deep moulded braces; 2 internal bays with trefoil headed mouldings and heavy transoms. Gates of wood with quatrefoils below rail and iron with long hinges. Stone flag floor. Adjoining churchyard wall at right angles has simpler saddleback coping.
