The Norman font, originally from Hampstead Norrey in Berkshire, was brought to this church in 1845; it is cylindrical and carved with interlace patterns and a scene depicting a man fighting a beast. The nave contains brasses commemorating William Gurney from 1472 and Thomas Gurney from 1520, as well as benches with poppyheads.
