The chancel was originally built in the 14th c. as a chapel of ease for neighbouring St Mary the Virgin. In the 15th c., it was expanded into this magnificent church. Above the west door are two niches with small figures within. The north porch has three empty niches and a parvise above. The font is Victorian. The south arcade is slightly older than that of the north. Between them on the chancel arch is a large mural, above which on the arch-braced roof is a restored painting acting as a canopy of honour for a screen that is now in the tower arch. A piscina in the south aisle indicates that it was once a lady chapel, probably dedicated to St Nicholas. The chancel piscina is a simple cusped arch, the adjoining dropped-sill sedilia shows that the chancel floor was once lower than it is today.
