The Grabham family chest tomb, located about 33 meters east of the entrance to the former churchyard, dates from the early 19th century. It is made of stone and features a ledger top, a cyma recta moulded cornice, and a moulded plinth. The south side is inscribed with the name of Joan Grabham, who died in 1808, although the inscription is eroded and unclear. The north side is overgrown with ivy. This tomb is one of a pair of Grabham monuments and is the furthest from the churchyard entrance.
