TIVERTON

SS9512 ST PETER STREET, Tiverton 848-1/6/314 Lych gate, 3 sets of gates, gate piers, wall and coffin-rest adjoining NE gate

GV II

Lych gate, 3 other sets of gates and gate piers, and boundary wall on all 4 sides of St Peter's churchyard; also coffin-rest adjoining north-east side. Late C19; boundary wall on north and west sides, and adjoining Nos 58 & 60 St Peter Street, probably earlier. Lych gate of wood on a stone ashlar base; roof of red tiles with crested ridge tiles. South and north-east gates of wood between stone ashlar piers. Coffin-rest of stone ashlar. Boundary wall of rubble (squared on the east and south sides) with coping of squared stone. In south-west corner, adjoining Nos 58 & 60 St Peter Street, the wall and the piers of a fourth gate (leading down to the river Exe) appear to be of rendered brick and stone rubble. Lychgate stands on 2 stone walls with chamfered tops, about 1.2m high. Upon these rest wooden sill-beams carrying 2 chamfered and stopped posts on each side. Between the pairs of posts are horizontal timbers supported by moulded arch braces springing from crenellated corbels, the spandrels filled with open trefoiled panels; the horizontal timbers in turn support curved braces rising to the principal rafters of the pitched roof. Across the gateway, front and back, are 2 further horizontal timbers supported by moulded braces to form Tudor arches, these springing from corbels matching those at the sides and having darts and quatrefoils in the spandrels. Gables have bargeboards carved with cinquefoil arches. The wooden gates have solid lower panels with diagonal planking; upper parts open, with square chamfered balusters. between the feet of the balusters and along the top rails are shaped iron finials. South gate piers are oblong in section with chamfered plinth and tall, stepped, tapered caps; plank gates with an open quatrefoil panel cut in the top of each plank. The top rail with iron finials like those on the lychgate. The north-east gate piers are plain and square, little more than an extension of the boundary wall; gates are a plain version of those in the lychgate, without the iron work. Coffin rest, a plain oblong, its top replaced in concrete, adjoiing the northern pier. Boundary wall has chamfered coping, that on the north and part of the west sides older than the rest. The later walls on the south and east sides, facing St Peter Street and The Works, has pilaster strips at intervals. The stretch of wall adjoining Nos 58 & 60 St Peter Street is divided by panelled piers with low pyramidal caps, the wall between also panelled and its coping swept up at each end. 2 similar piers adjoin it on the north side, these carrying a simple iron gate with decorated finials to the uprights.
