Henry S. Woodfall, Esq.—Near the north-east corner of the churchyard, on a flat stone, was some years since an inscription to the memory of Henry S. Woodfall, the celebrated printer of the Letters of Junius, who spent the latter part of his life in calm retirement amongst his Chelsea friends. He was an associate of many distinguished literary characters, and died in 1805.

Philip Miller, Esq.—Close to the preceding spot is an obelisk to the memory of Philip Miller, Curator of the Botanic Gardens, Chelsea, and Author of the Gardeners’ Dictionary, &c. He died in 1771, aged 80. This monument was erected by the Fellows of the Linnæan and Horticultural Societies in 1815.

Against the wall of the old Vestry Room (now School Room) are tablets to the memory of Thomas Bowes, M.D., F.R.S., William Moncrieff, Professor of Humanity at St. Andrew’s, and Mrs. Methuen. The dates of these are 1723 and 1732.

These are the principal raised cenataphs and mural tablets in this ancient churchyard.
