MON 209 is another headstone from the 18th century, also made of Ketton stone, with no legible inscription. It features a finely shaped stone with a winged angel head and flowers.

MON 210, also an 18th-century headstone of Ketton stone, has no legible inscription but displays two winged angel heads and festoons of flowers on either side of a square inscription panel.

MON 211 is similar, being an 18th-century headstone of Ketton stone with no legible inscription, featuring two winged angel heads and a festoon of flowers.

MON 213 is a headstone from 1823 made of York stone, commemorating John Bradbrook, who died in 1830, and his wife Susan, who died in 1823. This monument is plain in design.
