The organ chamber is on the north wall behind the choir stalls. A low stone wall, topped by a brass ornamental rail, based on scrolls and leaves and finished with brattishing, separates the choir from the nave.

The pulpit is a circular pulvinated stone rail with foliage motif supported by seven shafts, with rings and foliage caps, off a solid overhanging base. The baptismal font, at the west end of the nave, is a stone chalice, on a cruciform base, with the inscription "A well of water springing up into everlasting life". The north transept window is a memorial to Baron William Henry Schroder of Rookery Hall, Worleston, whereas the south transept window features four biblical characters. Two small brasses and a slate wall memorials. High collar arch braced trusses with horseshoe braces above collar. Diagonally crossed trusses support the bell turret.
