The tea-caddy tomb in the center commemorates John Churchill, who died in 1771, and other family members; it is cross-shaped, with panelled sides and a moulded top. The mid to late 18th century tomb to the south-east features a moulded plinth and cornice, corner balusters, revealed side panels, and, in the end panels, a rococo cartouche and swags.
