The Rood Screen is 15th century and was moved to its present position in 1911 following its discovery in a local barn.

The Tower is 90 feet high and there are eight bells within the tower, <span style="font-size: 1rem;">two of which date from the early 17th century. 20th century additions include the Tower Screen, and the majority of the kneelers were worked by parishioners during the late 1990's.
