A wooden organ screen in the north aisle, originally on the wainscot of an old Pew. It is carved with the coat of arms of Mary Bond, mother of William Herrick II (1597 - 1671), dated 1597. In that time those arms were generally used by the Hayricke (Herrick) family.
On three other panels of the same pew were these inscriptions, which are now also incorporated into the organ screen :
