"The interior is 100 feet long and the height of the barrel vault 26 feet. These are unusually large proportions for a church in the Vale and is perhaps due to the fact that it was originally the garrison church for the Umfravilles.
The font is of plainest Norman work and like the Tower Arch date from about 1400. The ringing loft is lit by a 15th century window and the present ringing floor was added at the end of the 19th century. The tenor bell is about 9 cwt and was cast by William Ruddall of Gloucester." Text source: (
