Cadw's description
Location
St Pedrog's church is in the lower centre of Llanbedrog. The lychgate provides the access to the churchyard from the road on the NE side of the churchyard.
History
The gateway was probably built in the C18 and reroofed later.
Exterior
The lychgate is built with rubble stonework, with a roof of small irregular sized and grouted slates. Approximately square in plan, with the side walls returning as nibs to square-headed openings at front and back, each with unshaped stone lintels, and internal timber lintels supporting the purlins. A timber bench is set either side. The single pitched roof has exposed fully torched rafters on the single tier of purlins. The outer opening has a pair of C19 timber gates.
Reason for designation
Included as a simple country lychgate of vernacular character, of group value with the church in the centre of the village.
