The south side has narrow fielded panels at the corners and a central baluster, with two rounded panels that have inscriptions in relief. The north side has similar panels with a date. The east end contains a long inscription in Latin and a shield of arms. The two central tombs are from the early 18th century, with one possibly dated 1723.
