Lychgate, Hunsingore

Uploader's Comments

The distinctive lychgate, dated 1867, is also shown in [[326918]] and [[2519742]]. "The church was rebuilt in 1867 and the lychgate is built against the mound of the old church. Its design therefore allows for passage through the south and west sides of the structure instead of the usual direct route through south and north" http://list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1294112&searchtype=mapsearch . Because of its prominent position, the lychgate is a key component in views along the main lanes through the village, particularly up Main Street from the south.
