What is recorded here

Stone memorial gateway, dated 1919, leading to graveyard to south. Ashlar limestone walling, central four-centred arched opening flanked by lower side bays, vertical bay divisions marked by projecting square-profile decorative piers with lion head motifs, ball finials to outer piers, four-sided pinnacles to inner piers; date plaque to central keystone "1919", carved limestone cross surmounts central-bay, wrought- and cast-iron gates to opening. Central plaque bears the dedication "THIS GATEWAY HAS BEEN ERECTED IN LOVING MEMORY OF WILLIAM DE SALIS FILGATE OF LISRENNY, WHO HELD OFFICE AS VICAR'S WARDEN AT CHARLESTOWN CHURCH FOR A PERIOD OF NEARLY 50 YEARS […] BORN DECEMBER 2ND 1834, DIED JUNE 14TH 1916". Entrance situated on south side of roadway giving access to graveyard to south, flanked by rubble masonry quadrant walls, rendered coping to east and west.

This impressive gateway forms an eye-catching feature on a quiet rural roadside. A well-balanced design with subtle graduation towards the central entrance bay and fine carved detailing add to the architectural and artistic interest of the structure and handsome iron gates are also noteworthy. The gate is linked to the nearby church by its dedication and is thus an important survival in the area.
