Several tombs and tombstones are of note. The burial vaults of the Hatton family of nearby Kirby Hall are located on the east end of the church, and required that the chancel floor be raised in the 18th century in order to accommodate the tombs. Another tomb, located in the churchyard to the east of the porch, remembers a 19th century vicar named Rev. Abner Brow who did much to improve the villagers' lives. There is also a granite memorial to the east of the churchyard that was erected by the villagers to honor a nurse named Reservoir Woods (d. 1911), who was born and brought up in a gypsy camp, and whose knowledge of herbal remedies relieved the sufferings of many in the village.
