The baptismal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1849002 dates from the 15th century, the cover > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1849005 - dating from 1620 - is one of only three of this particular style that have survived in Norfolk. The nave contains a number of 15th century benches > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1848978 with carved bench ends > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1848981 and both screen and choir stalls incorporate fragments of original woodwork.
