3 bench sedilia under chancel south window and double cusped
and sub-cusped piscina.

"The church is comprised of an aisled nave with a N. porch, and a chancel with a N. vestry and chapel (now organ chamber), in most of its details it appears early Decorated in form, suggesting a date scarcely later than 1320. The aisle windows each have three round-headed, cinquefoil-cusped lights, with daggers above, set within intersecting cusped tracery. The N. porch has two-light side windows, an inscription round the base and another over the entrance, and an outer doorway with a crocketed canopied niche either side and an arch of two orders, with the inner springing from semicircular responds and the outer bearing a casement moulding with fleurons at intervals around the head; the couple roof has a row of carved quatrefoils immediately above the wall plates. The chancel has been reconstructed, both without and within, but the N. aisle extension as a chapel is essentially mediaeval, which retains its original N. window and, inside, the double-flat-chamfered arch from the aisle, which dies into the jambs."
