Monuments on the south aisle wall include three by a local designer in black and grey marble with gold lettering dedicated to William Enticknap died 1808; John Enticknap, died 1789 and John Enticknap died 1808. Speculation that the east window of the south aisle contains fragments of coloured glass from the medieval glassworks in Chiddingfold is countered by Kenyon (p. 88)

The Church forms a focal point in the group of buildings around the village green.
