The Lych Gate

At the entrance to the churchyard, the lych gate (under which a bier rests during the initial part of a funeral service) was erected in 1921 as a memorial to the Rev. Ralph Birdsall, rector of the parish from 1903 until his death in 1918. Birdsall is noted also as the author of a major village history. The gift was from members of the parish and friends in the village.

The Lych Gate located at the entrance of the churchyard welcomes you to Christ Church.
