'This Lychgate was dedicated on 31st October 1951. It was given by William Wyborn, Headmaster of the Church School for 32 years, in memory of his wife "M.E.W.".' Hence the engraved inscription IN DULCEM MEMORIAM UXORIS BONAE (i.e. 'In sweet memory of a good wife')

The porch was built as part of the rebuild of the church in 1860 by Henry Ward and Son of Hanley. The style is decorated. The church is grade II star listed.
