The open porch with gates rather than doors greet you as you approach the church. On the south-east nave buttress you will find a scratch dial. Inside the church there are two very rare life-size effigies, carved in wood, of William & Alice Poley dated 1579. There is another of Sir John Poley (1638) in the family chapel, carved in alabaster. He is, unusually, depicted in a standing position and wearing an elaborate suit of armour with a helmet at his feet.
