A lychgate is a small structure typically found at the entrance to a churchyard or cemetery, providing shelter for those carrying a coffin during a funeral. It is traditionally made of wood or stone and often features a roof supported by posts. Lychgates were once used for religious or ceremonial purposes, offering a place where the coffin would pause before being carried into the church or cemetery for the service. In addition to their practical function, lychgates often serve as architectural features that add character to the surrounding area.
