Status: On original site
Type: Freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Within a garden/park/churchyard/enclosure/Marketplace
Description: Lychgate
Lettering: Inscribed on a plaque
About the memorial: Oak framed and timber peg jointed lychgate with clay pantile roof, the roof dressed with lead at the verges to cover the top of the bargeboards. The oak frame sits on side walls of coursed limestone with brick quoins, all bedded and pointed in lime mortar. On the front tie beam there are the words 'Be thou faithful unto death' and on the rear tie beam there are the words 'And I will give thee a crown of life'. The memorial panels are of limestone set in the walls within the lychgate and largely protected from the weather. The names on the panels are not deeply incised and a little difficult to read because of discolouration and dirt on the stones. The lychgate and memorial panels were in good condition on the 20th May 2014. However, the oak frame has spread and racked sideways a little due to the design of the short knee braces, and there is some slight decay in the end grain of the cill beams and washing out of bedding mortar below the cill beams. The memorial is for the fallen of Bishop Norton, Atterby and Spital.
