Description

The tombs in the churchyard of All Saints Church in Brighton consist of several notable memorials. There are seven table tombs located approximately 3 to 8 meters from the southeast corner of the church. The inscriptions on these tombs include 'CHARLES SCRASE' (died 1823), 'PHILADELPHIA SCRASE' (died 1811), 'WILLIAM (?) RICHARD SCRASE' (died 1790), 'ANNA SCRASE' (date of death indecipherable), 'JOHN SCRASE' (died 1785), 'HARRY SCRASE FARNCOMBE' (died 1791), and a tomb with a difficult-to-read inscription, likely dedicated to 'RICHARD -------', situated between the latter two. All the tombs are made of stone, with those of Charles Scrase and William (?) Richard Scrase featuring decorative rectangular panels on either side. The remaining tombs have inscription panels on each long side that intersect the vase-shaped body of the tomb.

Additionally, there is another table tomb located approximately 3 meters east of the vestry, also made of stone. This tomb has inscription panels on each long side, but the inscriptions are indecipherable. The body of the tomb is decorated with winged death's-heads and cherubim on the south side, and skulls and cherubim on the north side.

Lastly, there is a tomb situated in the angle of the chancel and south aisle, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. This tomb features a simply moulded plinth that supports an urn and is surrounded by cast-iron railings topped with spearhead finials.
