Description

The choir screen dates to c1337 and has three arches on the west side with gables with foliage decorations, separated by buttress-shaped shafts. It has a more elaborate east side, with a larger central ogee arch with cinquefoil head underneath, with carved heads on each point. On either side is an arcade of smaller ogee arches, with elaborate heads, similar to the central entrance. Above is an arcade with tracery, and a pierced crest. The east side of the screen was restored in the 19th century.
