Description
Late nineteenth century Tudor-style lych gate to St Mary's churchyard, built in 1893
Tudor-style lych gate. Base of knapped flint and dressed stone with some 'Roman' tiles set into the flintwork to match the church. The roof is gabled, covered with plain clay tiles. Black and white timbering in the gable. Oak Tudor arch with leaf-carving in the spandrels and carved barge boards. It was erected 'in Pious Memory of ECFC' by Colonel F.C. Carr-Gomm, a local benefactor and historian, who lived at The Chase (now Farnham Park). He also paid for the churchyard cross and other church adornments. One side bears the date Christmas 1893 and 'ECFC' must have been Emily Caroline Fortescue Carr, the Colonel’s mother-in-law and a descendant of the Marquis of Lothian, who died in 1893 and was buried in Teddington Cemetery. Within the curtilage of the listed church but significant in its own right and prominent in the street scene. A significant building/building of note within the conservation area of Farnham Royal (B1).
