History
Lychgate probably of first-half C18 date and restored in the late C19. The structure incorporates late medieval wall plate sections which were probably taken from the chancel.

Large lychgate with rough-dressed slatestone side walls and slate roof; moulded bargeboards and deep verges. Six steps curve gently up into the structure from the road, the top one of stone, the remainder of cement. The E and W (entrance) sides have boarded gables above simple canted arches. Single bay roof with chamfered purlins and re-used early C16 wall plate sections. These are coved and partly moulded and have carved foliate bosses along their length. C19 wooden painted half-gates; these have 2-panel lower sections with diagonally-boarded upper sections having simple decorative ironwork.
Interior
Reason for designation
