The aisles have piscinas at each end and these would have been used as chapels with altars. Most medieval churches used their aisles as chapels for various uses. That on the south aisle being trefoiled with a fluted bowl, the other (which is in the north wall) is trefoiled and its bowl mutilated.
There are remains of painted wall decorations at the east end of the north aisle, the window splays being covered with masonry lines and red five-lobed flowers.
