single-framed rafter roof to nave, possibly C13, two-bay stone fan-vault to Morton Chapel, lean-to roofs to aisles with moulded principals and wall-plates

Fittings: screen, extensively restored, C15 wooden structure of five bays, central larger door- way flanked by outer bays each with three traceried sub-divisions, ribbed coving above

font: c1200 square base with five shafts supporting square bowl with rounded concave sides

Here is another font in the Holy Trinity parish church, except this font is situated in the west end of the north aisle. This is believed to have been the font for the Saxon church on this site, since it was found in 1844 below the present font in the west end of the nave.
