"Built by Willis, this was positioned in the south aisle against the most easterly arcade pier in 1886, at a cost of £410. It was removed to its present position in 1950 as part of the Taylor/Hempleman memorial. It replaces a gallery noted in the churchwardens’ accounts of 1855 “church’s bill for repairing the gallery £4.” Also mentioned in these accounts are “ Ringers and Singers ”, as well as the existence in 1803 of 46 members of a Benefit Society.
The former vestry, under the organ in the tower, was enclosed as a memorial to the Reverend Robertson, Rector from 1920 to 1952."
