Description
The ornate lych gate at the entrance to St. Feock's church in the village of Feock, Cornwall
An interesting lych gate as it has a stone bier for the coffin and seats for the pall bearers to gather their strength before carrying the deceased down the steep slope into the church.
The church dates from 1264, but was rebuilt and enlarged between 1840 and 1875 and only the original bell tower and font remain of the original building.
