The chancel has a C19 wagon roof with boarded back and carved bosses.

The tower has a late C15 -early C16 ringing floor carried on moulded intersecting beams.

Chancel and baptistry have floors of patterned C19 encaustic tiles.

The C19 Beerstone reredos is carved in Perpendicular Gothic style as a blind arcade, the centre panel of which is more ornate.
