SevenDaysOutside challenge - GateThursday - St Peter's Church Lychgate, Carmarthen, Wales

in #sevendaysoutside6 years ago (edited)

The photo above shows you a well known gate in Carmarthen. It leads to St Peter’s Church, or Eglwys San Pedr, and it’s actually a :

red sandstone neo-Gothic lychgate and a set of iron gates. The lychgate was designed by Francis E. Jones of London and built in 1879 in memory of the Reverend Latimer M. Jones, vicar of the parish 1863–77. The gate is Grade II listed.

I took this photo from a safe place which means that I didn’t stand in the street dangerously to show the full beauty of this construction. Unfortunately, this means that the photo is not that great but you can see photos online if you search for it. To be honest the church looks quite ancient so I initially thought that the entrance gate was contemporary but it’s much more recent from what I’ve read.

I shall try to use the church facade next week to show the windows :D
