Located in the SE corner of the churchyard, the lych gate was formerly used to shelter a coffin until the clergyman's arrival for the burial, or pre-burial service. The church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3503470 is located about 1,000 ft (c300m) above sea level on the ridge between two river valleys, the Rhymney to the west and the Sirhowy to the east.
