The most prominent feature is the old rood screen which dates from the c15. It has been considerably restored since that time. Twenty painted panels depict apostles and prophets, each including a latin inscription which is either a statement from the apostles creed or an associated scripture verse. The two concluding statements of the creed are missing and these would have been featured on an additional section of the screen which at one time extended to the south wall. A larger external buttress at this point marks the earlier presence of a stairway to the rood loft. Access to the loft from the other end was probably through the low arch behind the pulpit which has since been filled in with a memorial tablet (anon).
