the low chancel screen and altar rail have re-set late C17 balusters.

The pulpit is C17 with bands of blind arcading to the panels.

those on the north wall are C17.

6 rows of pews are probably C15 - the bench ends with crudely carved poppy-heads, some with punched decoration

Memorials: in the west end of the north aisle a very fine marble chest tomb to Robert Stapylton, d1634.

The chest has black Ionic colonnettes and 6 kneeling figures of his children.

the north side of the tomb chest is crudely sealed over with rendering and there are several pieces of carved stone of varying dates in the railed-off area.

Below this, on the floor of the chancel, is a large C14 indent which contained figures of a knight in armour and his wife with a border inscription and shields.

In the south wall there is a fragment of a C10 cross with interlace carvings.

3 boards, painted with the royal arms of George III and funeral hatchments of the Stapleton family hang on the west and north walls.
