The oldest feature is the small revealed patch of herring-bone masonry in the north nave wall which may indicate C11 Saxon origins. The whole of the rest of the interior is plastered and painted except for the features that are part of the Victorian restoration, and the fine late Norman style chancel arch which is also a restoration of 1861. Plaster wagon-vaulted roofs on timber wall-plates. The furnishings are Victorian except for the early C18 Communion Rail with turned balusters, the tub font from the Chapel of St. Michael and the Royal Arms dated 1711. Some good late C18 and early C19 memorials, including one to the Griffins of Newton Court in the Chancel. There are said to be four bells c1420, 1674, 1678 and 1876. Window by Seddon, 1862 among others.
