Interior: tie beam and strut 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.
