The round-topped chancel arch is Norman, and was stripped of its plaster covering some years ago to reveal scalloped capitals, typical of Norman decoration. The Norman font is thought to be the original. The pulpit and altar rails are of the Jacobean period.

The pews in the nave are from the workshop of Robert Thompson at Kilburn - the "Mouseman". The 'mouse' trademark can be found on some of the pews. The altar kneelers are based on the words of the Benedicite and the background shapes follow the design of the Norman pillars.
