The churchyard has over 200 memorials dating from the C17th, C18th and C19th, the earliest tomb that of the Payne family of 1603 situated on the north side near the old lych-gate and a yew tree that may be 300 years old. The churchyard, which is now closed except for existing family graves, is approached from the east through an early C18th lych-gate. The wall separating the churchyard from the High Street is Tudor in part. The brick path from the High Street is largely screened from the road by an avenue of tall yew trees. The detached walled Burial Ground, sometimes called the cemetery, was enclosed from farmland in 1857 then on the edge of the village of Bexley.
