The church is predominantly Early English. Sitting atop a plain 15th century octagonal font is this elaborately carved font cover, dated 1620. It was carved by a local craftsman named John Turner, who also carved the pulpit.
Made at the height of Laudian piety, it contains Renaissance imagery rarely seen in this country.
