Architectural Features

In the west wall of the north aisle is a Norman doorway with one order of columns with scalloped capitals.

The inner order of the arch is cut from a tympanum with figure decoration.

The doorway is filled in with medieval cross slabs and coffin lids.

A number of wall tablets have been re-set from the earlier church, including 4 by Websters of Kendal, and a figure and urn in relief by C. Regnart.
