Summary
| Description |
English: Lych Gate This photograph of the lych gate of the 381781 (CofE), Morton, Derbyshire was taken from 381108.
Originally the now private house on the left was the vicarage. The yew tree beyond the lych gate was planted to commemorate the coronation of King George V. For another photograph of the lych gate, click here 378987. derbyshireuk.net: http://www.derbyshireuk.net/morton.html british-history.ac.uk: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=51160#s15 To the right (northerly) of the picture Church Lane joins the B6014 where 379248 (north-westerly) becomes 377757 (Easterly). Some 100metres to the left the lane has a junction with Higham Lane. Close by (behind the viewpoint) is a footpath to a recreation field. Lych gate: the word lych comes from the Saxon for dead and, in this context, refers to a covered gate with a bench upon which a coffin could be placed until the priest arrived to conduct the burial. The service would begin at the lych gate and the priest and mourners would process to the church and then on to the place of burial. If the mourners could not afford a coffin then the deceased would be wrapped in a shroud. |
