Architectural Features
Tower: the upper stage is narrower, indicating the C16 heightening, and contains 2-light belfry openings with chamfered mullions
Opposite this tomb, in the south wall of the aisle, there is a finely carved piscina, indicating the position of an altar nearby.
The tomb of Sir William Tngilby (d1617) stands against the south wall of the chancel and is composed of a chest tomb with shields representing local families, on which lies the recumbent figure of Sir William in full armour, his helmet separately carved and at time of resurvey placed against his legs, the feet and hands missing.
The inscription records that the memorial was erected by the executors, Sir Peter Middleton and Thomas Ingilby and a valedictory poem likens Sir William to a single bee - a pun on the Ingleby name.
A later carved inscription below reads 'NO POMPE NOR PRIDE / LET GOD BE HONOURED'.
A squint behind the monument allows a view from the vestry and there is a finely carved piscina and aumbry in the south wall near the altar.
There are the remains of a fine massively carved rood screen probably C16 at the east end of the south aisle, with ogee arch and a brattished cross beam with shields
The present rood screen and choir stalls were installed in 1885
the font in the base of the west tower was donated in 1863.
the C14 tomb and possibly the north nave arcade masonry are thought to have come from that building.
The secondary inscription on the C17 monument is thought to have been cut during the occupation of the church by Cromwell's troups after the battle of Marston Moor Sir William had been a Roman Catholic and his family was suspected of involvement in the gunpowder plot and was persecuted severely
he was succeeded in 1618 by his nephew, William, who supported the Royalist course during the civil wars and was imprisoned and fined.
