Above the round piers in both north and south arcades are capitals with stiff leaf decoration, typical of the Early English style of the thirteenth century. The nailhead decoration is also consistent with this architectural period - though of course this is Victorian church.

The extremely impressive font and cover probably date from the fifteenth century, according to Pevsner, though he points out that the panels around the bowl appear to be relatively freshly cut.

This may be one of the survivors from an earlier church in the parish.
