All Saints Church of Ireland
Newtowncunningham, County Donegal, Ireland
The Lych Gate is an unusual feature of All Saints Church. Though these are common in England, there are only four or five in Ireland. The lych gate is a covered gateway used for sheltering coffins at funerals on wet days on the way into the Church. The word "lych" comes from the old Saxon word "lic", meaning body. All Saints' lych gate has over it the inscription "I am the Resurrection and the Life".
The Lych Gate was built in memory of the Rev. Alexander George STUART and of his wife Christine Emma STUART of Bogay House/Rectory. It was the gift of the parishoners and was erected in 1920.
