It comprises a central and two side aisles, plus a Lady Chapel. It has some beautiful decorative features, and the old font has a superb carved cover. The pulpit is of English oak, with rich arabesque carving. The clergy stall is also beautifully carved and adorned with a carved angel. Perhaps the most unusual feature is the highly decorated war memorial frieze, which includes civilians, as well as the armed forces. With eight women and four men depicted it is very unusual for war memorials. The churchmanship is “open evangelical”.
