The interior was extensively restored during Victorian times > 846796 - 846827 - a piscina, the George III royal arms and a C13 font > 846833 - albeit broken - have survived. A few interesting C17 ledger stones > 846822 - 846825 can be found on the chancel floor; the west end of the nave has been devoted to villagers lost during WW1. The stained glass windows date from the 19th and early 20th centuries > 846810. A window in the west wall commemorates Major William Mordaunt Marsh Edwards VC who won the Victoria Cross at Tel-el-Kebir during the Egyptian war of 1882 > 846838.
