Description
This hearse house, now demolished, was constructed of stone and had a slate roof. The building incorporated ornamental timbers thought to derive from St Derfel's Church (NPRN 43870). The entrance lintel was formed by a carved beam, possibly part of the late medieval rood screen in St Derfel's Church . The timbers were incorporated into the lych gate (NPRN 43871) when the building was demolished.
