Churchyard wall, including pound & lych gate, at St Cynog's church

churchyard wall church gate United Kingdom
Lych gate and old Brecon County signpost, Penderyn The lych gate is at the Church Road entrance to Grade II listed St Cynog's Church. The lych gate was formerly used to shelter a coffin until the clergyman's arrival for the burial, or pre-burial service.Some sources state that the church is in Hirwaun, but the old signpost shows that Hirwaun is 2¼ miles away. The signpost is a survivor from the time of the administrative county of Brecon (or Brecknock), abolished in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. Most of the former county is now in Powys, but Penderyn is part of Rhondda Cynon Taf.
