Plastered tympanum above chancel step has a hatchment on its east face. Fittings include a fine Jacobean oak pulpit with double-arched carved panels and a canopy with pendants. East and south-east windows of chancel contain much C14 and C15 stained glassy 2-light window in nave of 1902 by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. Large painting, in a Gothick niche at east end of north aisle, by Pompeo Battoni after Guido Reni's "The Annunciation", was formerly in the Chapel of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and was presented in 1794 by Sir Christopher Willoughby. Monuments include a brass inscription and shield to John Danvers (died 1616), and a large white marble Baroque wall monument to Anna Pollard (died 1701) with barley-twist columns, Corinthian capitals, and a swan-neck pediment supporting cherubs and a cartouche of arms. 2 late C18 Gothick wall tablets erected by Sir Christopher Willoughby.
