During Hayward's restoration of the church in 1888-9 a group of medieval sculpted fragments was found including a small stone standing figure of St Nicholas which is now displayed above the south porch doorway. Various richly carved pieces of stone some painted & gilded were thought to have come from a stone reredos or altar. Among these was a fragment of a standing figure of a saint holding a boat which may have been of alabaster but is now lost.
