	The lych gate at St. Mary The Virgin church Aston Hertfordshire church of England
		The lych gate opening into the churchyard was erected in 1921, in memory of the Reverend George Venables Oddie who was rector of Aston for 42 years.
		At the lych gate the coffin was rested on a wooden table while the priest said part of the burial service.
		As only rich people could afford to be buried in a coffin, the poor were brought to the church in a parish coffin usually carried on the parish bier, and then taken out and wrapped in a sheet for burial directly into the ground.
