The south porch is now the only access to the
Church and it is enclosed by
modern wrought iron gates (1996) embellished with
swimming brass trout.

Above them another niche is occupied by a terracotta
sculpture of the patron Saint (1951), overcoming the dragon, "that
old serpent, called the Devil" (Revelations 12:7-9).

The font is probably Norman and dates from around the 11th century. It was rescued from a rubbish heap and put back to it's original use when the church was restored in the late 19th century. |
At the Chancel end of the north aisle are four high box pews dating from 1631 to 1723, bearing the names and initials of the owners on the doors. The drawing shows one of these doors. |
One of the most unusual features in the Church are the seven niches in the pillars, now empty but reputed to have contained figures of Our Lord, Our Lady, St. Sythe, St Nicholas and St. Sonday (Dominic), and two other saints, now forgotten. The statues were probably removed at the time of the Reformation. |
