Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Tapsell Lychgate at Weston Turville - geograph.org.uk - 1258959.jpg |
English: The Tapsell Lychgate at Weston Turville. The Lychgate of St Mary the Virgin is of a very unusual design and is a grade II listed building https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1332908 and has been renovated in 2006. The gate is mounted on a wooden post which is pivoted top and bottom and there is a weight and pulley mechanism to automatically close the gate 1258947 . Gates of a similar design occur at Chalfont St Giles (Buckinghamshire) https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1159392 , Heston (Middlesex) https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1080300 and Burnsall (Yorkshire) http://www.skiptonweb.co.uk/gallery/picture.asp?id=1782 and 409390 .
The Lychgate carries the plaque "This Tapsell Lychgate was faithfully renovated by Don Billing 2004." Wikipedia has a page on the Tapsel or Tapsell lychgates of Sussex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapsel_gate and it is clear that while these gates are resolve on a central post, the design is fundamentally different. The earliest gate in Sussex is believed to have been named after John Tapsel or Tapsell, probably in 1729. It seems that in 1896 the Heston gate was (incorrectly?) described as a Tapsel gate http://sac.pastfinders.org/sac_040.htm and since then the name has sometimes also been applied to gates closed with a chain, pully and counterweight. See 1258860 for general information about the church. |
