Interior
Interior Description
The interior walls are of sand-roughened plaster.
The nave is lit by a three-light west window, and two pairs of two-light windows in the north and south walls: those on the south, side are partly restored late 14th century or early 15th century windows of two trefoiled lights with a quatrefoil in a two-centred head. They came from the former mediaeval church which stood some 440 yards NNW of the present building. The windows on the north side are good copies made to match those on the south. The chancel south window 3 is 15th century, of one trefoiled light and a label; this, and the early 16th century window in the north wall of the chancel recess, also came from the former church. The mediaeval piscina (15th century, on a moulded bracket with an octagonal stem and moulded base) is now lying loose in a corner. The roofs are of a West Country waggon-type, slightly pointed, and boarded in deal with quatrefoil bosses at the intersections. The wall-plates are 15th century.
