Millennium Lychgate at St. John the Baptist Church Preen
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.
