The Feniton lych gate was constructed in 1920 as a First World War memorial, but would have been an unlikely option for the village war memorial had the churchyard not been extended in 1915.

This Lych gate at Feniton formed the original war memorial. It carries no names, just the simple words "1914 - 1919 Lest we forget". It has been supplemented in recent times by a plaque in the church. Photograph.
