This interesting self-build project was carried
out with the PCC of Church Preen,
to commemorate the Millennium.
A
small working party undertook the
construction of the lychgate, with
occasional assistance from a
craftsman mason,
and under a
watching
brief by the architects. |

The oak was sourced in Herefordshire, and stored "in stick" in
the church warden's barn to season. The barn also provided the workshop
in which the oak members were pre-fabricated prior to assembly on
site. The project represents a tremendous achievement by the church
wardens and their team, and has received a Civic Trust award. |
