In a wall recess in the north east nave is a good late C13 recumbent stone effigy of a lady: this is probably a member of the Bedingfield family and is said to have come from the chapel.

Below the west nave window is an inscribed tablet of C13 date.

A C16 brass to a member of the Bedingfield family has been removed.
