History

Built 1856, contemporary with restorations to the adjacent church.

Exterior

A Decorated style lychgate, built of limestone. Symmetrically planned; 3-bays with flanking low walls surmounted by railings (wall capping continued along elevation as bevelled plinth capping). Central bay with stepped, offset sides with chamfered angles with roll stops; supporting a steeply pitched gable roof surmounted by a decorative cast-iron cross. Flanking bays also with stepped, offset sides with chamfered angles with roll stops, top edge shaped. Entry is through a pointed-arched opening with jambs of engaged columns supporting a moulded head; there is a narrow slit recess in the gable apex and the elevation is articulated with human head bosses. The flanking walls terminate in square piers with chamfered angles and helm caps. The railings are alternating tall and short vertical rails; taller rails with fleur-de-lys finials. The central gate has similarly detailed vertical rails, a tall central rail embellished with swirl detail at the head where the arched top rails descend to meet it; plain, paired horizontal rails at lock and foot.

Reasons for Listing

Included as a finely detailed entrance gate to the churchyard, echoing some of the later design elements of the adjacent church of St. Cadwaladr with which it forms a coherent group.
