Above each arcade may be seen the heads of the windows to the C11 nave.

Mid C12 chancel arch, round-headed, of two orders: the inner with a double roll-moulding on scalloped capitals, half-cylindrical responds, and carved bases: a swirled pattern to the south, stepped to the north.

At the west end of the north aisle a Roman carving in shallow relief of the god Mercury has been built into the wall of the west tower.
