Lych gate, The Church of All Saints'
Many churches have a lych gate built over the main entrance to the enclosed area round the church. The name, also spelt lich or lytch, is from the Anglo Saxon 'lich' meaning corpse. The gate marks the division between consecrated and unconsecrated ground, where the bearers sheltered with the coffin, waiting for the clergyman to lead the procession before the burial. The original lych gates had seats, a lych cross and a lych stone - a slab on which the coffin rested.

All Saint's Church
All Saints in Manfield looks initially like just another Victorian church, but the tower looks older, as does the chancel with its ancient door in the south wall. In fact the building contains work from the 12th century onwards, much of it masked by the restoration of 1855.
