The 17th-century chest tomb, situated to the south, has a plain slab with an inscribed skull and crossbones on each side, along with inscriptions on the two long sides dedicated to members of the Wyles family. The tomb to the north includes an inscription for Thomas Soden, who died in 1800, and his wife.
