mullions, label moulds and leaded glazing. Single chamfered-mullioned window of
2 arched lights inserted over priest's door in 1698. Porch has Tudor-arched
hollow-chamfered opening and inner door with strap hinges. Chancel has 5-light

trusses. Arch to baptistry under tower, plain round font of 1712, old benches
and chest. Nave has organ in north-west corner. Cowmire pew to north-east
probably constructed from former reredos and chancel screen in 1571 and heavily
restored in 1911; low panelling, one-light divisions with tracery heads and
coved cornice with Tudor flowers and cresting, missing to east side; door has
swan-neck hinges; panelling to north has some paint remaining, including halo;
small traceried canopy above is ex situ; table and incised game to bench relate
to pew's use as school. Smaller pew to east has bolection-moulded panels,
foliage panels and lettering: "WH 1696", door has H-hinges. Burblethwaite pew
to south-east originally C17 but largely reconstructed in 1810, turned posts,

Lord's Prayer and creed boards, and Commandment board to north with ogee head

substantial remains of stained glass, thought originally to be from Cartmel

crucifixion and Christ appearing after resurrection, placed in north-east nave
window.
