Interior Description
A small porch (1330) leads into the church, immediately to the right is the Bella Aqua Chapel, then the central Nave to the Chancel, turn left from the Chancel to the Cresacre Chapel – through the West door of the Chapel into the North Aisle. The roof was probably lifted in 1410. It has bosses at all the intersections carved with symbolic foliage including a round face surrounded by oak leaves. There are piscinas in both the Cresacre Chapel and the Bella Aqua Chapel and at the west end of the north aisle there is evidence of an anchorite cell, though it has also been suggested that it is a reliquary. The architecture includes samples of Transitional Norman, Decorated and Perpendicular styles, evident in windows, pillars and arches.
