plain square panelled roof to nave in five bays with principals resting on stone corbels , chancel roof of trussed rafter construction with scissor bracing and quatrefoil carving to cornice c.1300

the chancel arch has been re-built but its broad tall, pointed form with bold quadrant mouldings is probably a copy of the original late C13 arch

C13 trefoil-arched piscina

in north wall an aumbry with shouldered arch and an oak door inscribed HP/WR/HH/1652.

Five bay nave arcades have wide pointed arches supported by piers of quatrefoil section with fillets on tall octagonal bases much re-cut, the exceptions being the eastern responds and the first capitals from the east (red sandstone) which may be C14.

six glazed medieval floor tiles set in a wooden frame on the south chancel wall

wooden screen across the chancel with its openwork tracery also in the style of G.E Street dates from 1904 as does the stained glass in east window, commemorating the reconstruction of the chancel at this time

there are two parish chests, one of early C17 at east end of south aisle and another at west end inscribed I B R P WAR 1700

an iron-bound chest with small painted panels (probably done in C19) dates from early C17 but is of continental origin.

also a small brass tablet on north wall of chancel to Owen Davis

in the nave (east wall, south side) a memorial with folded drapery to William Boycott A Saxon minster church, the parish of Pontesbury was formerly divided in three portions, an arrangement dating back until at least C13 and which persisted until 1909.
