The south aisle has the form of its C16 addition to the original church, with 3 coupled windows, a canopied tomb with a brass (of Robert Warham and his wife), and at the west end a detached altar tomb with 2 recumbent alabaster figures (a Knight and Lady of circa 1520)

The tower arch is C15 and also the west door

The pulpit is of coloured stonework and the font is a 'Norman Revival' massive structure
