At the High Street entrance to St Mary Magdalene church and churchyard. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4757060 Derived from an old English word for a corpse, a lychgate is the roofed gateway to a churchyard, formerly used to shelter a coffin until the clergyman's arrival for the burial or pre-burial service. Inscriptions inside this lychgate record that it was erected following the 1936 bequest of the late Emmeline A Priestley to the revered memory of her late husband Thomas Priestley M.A. (vicar of this Parish from 1894-1908) and their son Major Percival T. Priestley of the R.A.M.C (Royal Army Medical Corps) who died in 1918.
