The C14 nave consists of three bays, one south aisle column is decorated with oak leaves and acorns.
The font is norman and corbel heads decorate the columns.
A priest’s door with dog tooth molding is set in the south side of the chancel, whilst on the north side is a small hatched window that is no more than a couple of feet from ground level. Could this be a leper squint where they could receive the sacrement? A small squint for leper’s, is set into the church at Cold Higham twelve miles away.
There a three C19 wall mnonuments one of which is dedicated to Command William Mansell (d1886) who is buried at Brompton Cemetery, London, and another to the Reverend Mansell (d1914).
