About the memorial: Oak framed lychgate with clay plain tiled roof. The timber frame is seated on side walls of limestone. On the front gable tie beam there are the Latin words “Mors Janua Vitae”, and on the rear gable tie beam the words “Tll the morning break and the shadows flee away”. These phrases suggest the whole lychgate served as the memorial, as the Latin phrase is a reference to a piece of art by Sir Joseph Noel Paton featuring a knight in armour, while the phrase on the rear is from the Song of Solomon and may be a reference to the return of those named on the memorial. The WW1 memorial is an inscribed bronze panel to the left of the gate. The WW2 memorial is a carved oak panel to the right of the gate – the names are all skilfully carved across the original panels and the transome. The WW2 panel includes the names of airmen who served on the local bomber station and who are buried in the churchyard. Apart from a few dislodged roof tiles the lychgate was in good condition on 11/05/2014. The memorial panels were also in good condition.
