Interior
Interior Description
In the South Aisle at the East end is a recumbent stone effigy of a Knight, about the year 1350, and is thought to represent Sir Henry de Halton. On the floor by the side is a very ancient burial slab of Purbeck marble, probably dated about 1250 A.D. In Norman French writing are the words (when translated) "Here lies Sir Walter de Bec on whose soul may God have mercy".
The stone font, at the rear of the church, may be very old, and some have thought it may have been here in the earlier church. In the belfry is a peal of 6 bells, rehung in 1938.
On the North aisle, facing Eastwards, is a window in which are symbols of the four Evangelists.
