The lychgate was erected in 1920, in remembrance of the nine men from this parish who gave their lives in the Great War. Their names are carved in the sandstone surround of a seat inside the gateway. There are inscriptions on the woodwork above the arch - for details see IWM war memorials register LinkExternal link and War Memorials Online LinkExternal link .
