The chief item of interest in the church is the remarkable triple monument of 1611 by John Drake (†1628), commemorating three generations of his family. The first partition at the rear is occupied by the kneeling effigies of John Drake and his wife; in front of them in the centre are similar effigies of his father Sir Barnard (†1611) and his wife, with his grandfather John Drake Sr (†1558) and his wife in front facing the window.
