Royal Arms of George III dated 1801 and sited over the nave north door.

The Church Guide compiled by Revd R Rose 1976 states :-

"The Screen appears to have had a somewhat chequered history.

An early nineteenth century writer says, "... the old oak Chancel screen now cuts off the westernmost bay of the North Aisle to serve as a lobby."

A faculty was issued in 1946 for the provision of a children's corner but no mention is made of moving the Screen.

It is unknown whether the Reverend Richard Bingham moved it to its present position and if that was the reason for his nameplate. 

"Beginnings of decay" were noted and repaired circa 1930"
