GV II

Lychgate to church of St. John the Baptist. 1867. Probably by Charles Kirk of Sleaford for Joseph Dent of Ribston Hall (q.v.). Pink sandstone and ashlar, slate roof. Square plan, open sided, in Gothic style with double-chamfered arch to each side and diagonal buttresses. Ashlar coping to gables, steeply-pitched roof. Interior: stone bench on north side, groined vault. Gate: wrought iron, single leaf approximately 1.2 metres high. Pointed bars, short dog-bars, bands of scroll ornament. The church (q.v.) was rebuilt in 1867 and the lychgate is built against the mound of the old church. Its design therefore allows for passage through the south and west sides of the structure instead of the usual direct route through south and north.
