There are two sedilia and one piscina next to the altar in the chancel of the church. There is also an embattled shelf with a plaque. The church is very unusual in having no chancel arch and no aisles. There is another piscina in the same south wall nearer to the pews.
The stone altar slab on which the altar stands dates to the 13th century. It has a moulded edge with all five crosses preserved.
