This description covers a pair of chest tombs located in the churchyard, approximately 7 metres south-south-east of the tower of the Church of All Saints.
The first tomb, known as the Rousell monument, is situated about 6 metres south-south-east of the tower and dates from the 19th century. It is made of Ham stone and features a moulded plinth, with one plain panel at each end and two on each side, complemented by fluted Ionic pilasters. The tomb has a shallow hipped top with rounded leading edges and commemorates various members of the Rousell family, with the earliest decipherable death date being 1811.
The second tomb, referred to as the Butcher monument, is located about 2 metres south of the Rousell monument and dates from the 18th century. Also constructed from Ham stone, its base is buried, and it has one fielded panel on each face, with three-panel pilasters on the sides. The tomb features moulded coving to a shallow hipped top with rounded leading edges and commemorates a member of the Butcher family, who died in 177_.
