The inscription on the north side is flanked by palm leaf decoration, while the south side has floral decoration with ribbon ties. There are also inscriptions at both ends of the tomb. The monument is capped with a moulded margin and is surrounded by a low cast iron railing that has cusped decoration and quatrefoil finials. There is another chest tomb immediately north of the William Barnes monument, which is now overgrown, but it is enclosed within the same railing.
