St. Mary Magdalene Church Battlefield-1

Happy to see the Lych Gate restoration now finished at the church, it having been fenced off for some time. The story behind the Lych Gate is quite interesting, apparently it was originally built using recycled C16/C17 timbers including the posts of a four-poster bed and two sections of balustrade. There was a certain amount of decay but C19 timbers held everything together.
