There are hundreds of burials under the grass, but most of the memorials have been removed. Many of the gravestones have been used for paving. The Nussey tomb, listed Grade II, is near the north-eastern corner of the churchyard. The first burial in it was for John Nussey, who died in 1826. His youngest daughter Ellen Nussey, a friend of Charlotte Bronte, was buried in it in 1897.
