Another headstone, also about 19 metres south of the aisle, has a moulded raised oval panel with carved winged cherubs' heads in the spandrels and a scrolled top with a cherub's head at the centre. The inscription on this headstone was illegible at the time of survey in October 1987.

A chest tomb, dated 1800 and approximately 21 metres south of the aisle, has a coved cornice and a flat top, with an inscription to William Bright, who died on 2nd December 1800. There is also a pair of back-to-back headstones located about 24 metres south of the aisle. The larger headstone to the west has a shaped head with a shallow carved winged cherub's head and is inscribed to a member of the Bright family. The smaller nouy-headed headstone to the west is well carved, featuring a central crown flanked by putti, each holding a wreath in one hand and a palm frond in the other. The fronds flank an inscription that was also illegible at the time of the survey.
