Two monuments are located in the churchyard about 6 metres north of the tower of the Church of St John the Baptist. The first is a chest tomb from the 19th century, dedicated to John Reynolds, featuring baluster angles, a moulded base and capstone, along with a framed plaque on the south side that commemorates John Reynolds, who died in 1857. The second monument, dating from the late 18th century, is also a chest tomb. It has a fluted frieze, angle columns with carved capitals, and two rococo plaques on the south side, which include a cherub and sunburst design, with books at the outer angles.
