Chancel arch of 3 orders including dog-tooth and chevron decoration, scalloped and carved capitals. Nave has simple arch supported collar trusses in 4-bays, with 3 purlins each slope, formerly with plaster barrel vault ceiling; plain chamfer window reveals; C13/C14 wall painting on North wall featuring Death of Virgin Mary; round tub font with cable mould on turned base.
