Lych gate, St Peter's church, Meavy

A lychgate or as two separate words lych gate, is a gateway covered with a roof found at the entrance to a traditional English churchyard. The name comes from the Old English for a corpse (lic) and was traditionally where the clergy met the corpse for burial. It was also a shelter for the pall bearers.

Track to the ford, Meavy

The caption to SX5466 : Stepping Stones by Meavy Ford explains that the ford was popular with drivers of four-wheel vehicles; the sign is a more recent arrival; it probably doesn't deter many thrill-seekers.
