As befits the church's dedication, statues of saints surround the chancel arch. On the south side, top to bottom, are the archangel Michael, St Francis of Assisi, St Hilda of Whitby and St Nicholas. They were made in 1912 by a firm in the Italian Tyrol, and restored by the same firm in the early 2000s.
