In 1800, while work was being carried out in the vaults below the south aisle, several pillars and the ceiling collapsed. The ceiling was designed and the repairs completed by 1803 under the direction of the architect, John Johnson. Made of plaster the new ceiling shows circular mouldings much as the previous ceiling. The blue and gilt colouring was given to the ceiling at its restoration in 1961. Above the Chancel arch is the welcoming figure of "Christ in Glory" by Peter Eugene Ball.
