A small family cemetery is located inside the stone walls that surround the gardens of the main house and inside cemetery walls that date from the first half of the nineteenth century. These walls retain their original gate hardware including wrought iron pintels, latch catch and stop. Sixteen monuments marking the burials of Skipwith family members from the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century remain in the cemetery. Among the markers are those erected in memory of Sir Peyton Skipwith (1740 1805) and his second wife Lady Jean Skipwith (1748-1826).
