To the left (northerly) of the picture Church Lane joins the B6014 where 379975 (north-westerly) becomes 377757 (Easterly). Some 100metres to the right the lane has a junction with Higham Lane. Close by (ahead left, just beyond the parked car) is a 385047 to 385079. 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. |
