Cadw's description
Location
At the entrance to the church yard to Saint Mary's Church, set back from the street.
History
Built as part of Gilbert Scott's restoration of the church between 1868-1870.
Exterior
Stone base supporting timberwork. Gables at either side have scallopped barge-boards and are jettied out on braces sprung from corbels. 4 scissor-braced collar trusses inside.
Reason for designation
A significant component of Scott's restoration of the church, the lych-gate illustrates gothic revival principals, both in its symbolic importance and in its robustly crafted detail.
