Group of 3 headstones. First half of the C19. The one closest to the church is white marble and sarcophagus-shaped. It is completely overgrown with ivy and therefore no inscription was noted. Another white marble chest tomb close by is rectangular in plan its flat lid has moulded edges and it has a moulded plinth. Panelled corner pilasters and plain rectangular panels each side. The south panel has collapsed but the remains of the inscription in Roman serif capitals records the death of Jacob Jeddere in 1833. Close by is another chest tomb. This is sandstone and similar in form except that the panels here project with indented corners. Inscription in Roman serif capitals on the south side records the death of John Beecher of Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells, in 1830.
