The Holy Trinity Church has 28 misericords dating from the 15th century. Described by Pevsner as "most entertaining even if no great shakes as sculpture" they depict human figures, mythical beasts, and foliate motifs. The misericord in this photograph, on the south side of the chancel, depicts a woman reaching towards a unicorn, into which a man is plunging a spear. Between the figures, a shield bearing a coat of arms is positioned. The scene is supported by a leaf on either side.
