Interior
Interior Description
4-bay aisle arcade. 6-bay nave roof, probably C17; 4-bay arched-braced chancel roof, largely of 1881. The aisle roof is partly original, the bracing with traceried spandrels. In the north east nave is a semi-circular headed recess with C12 chrevron-moulded arch, perhaps the tomb of a founder of the church. The aisle has a good C14 piscina with a cusped and pinnacled ogee arch enriched with foliage, and set against a canopied background with panelling. Adjacent is a drop-sill sedila. Late C14 octagonal font: 4 lions against the stem and angels on the underside of the bowl, the carved bowl panels now lost; the upper step of the base is inscribed and is enriched with quatrefoil tracery. On the north nave wall is a painting of St. Christopher, now very indistinct. A little C15 woodwork with remains of traceried panels is incorporated in a screen below the tower arch. 4 nave benches have C15 poppyhead ends and 5 others have similar but later ends. Arms of William IV over south doorway.
