The 19th century carved wooden altar beneath the east window has a pale stone reredos with the Lamb of God set on a background of flower motifs. Round the rest of the walls of the sanctuary is carved stone arcading. This has niches for statues; Helen and Paul on the left and Peter and Andrew on the right.
