The Burge monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, 11 metres south of the south transept of the Church of All Saints. It dates from the 18th century and is made of Doulting stone. The tomb features a moulded base on a stepped plinth, with plain flanks and sides. It has an Adam style frieze and a thin moulded flat top.
