The south and west sides have flat coping stones, with inscriptions such as "short toil, eternal rest" visible on the inside. There are also numbered stones and an inscription noting "ten trees planted 1896." On the north wall, adjacent to the gatepiers, there are sculpted remains of an angel holding a shield with the Fothringham arms.
