Interior
Fixtures and fittings
Altar
Late 19th Century
The altar is of oak, panelled.
Reredos
The reredos is of oak, given in 1885 and carved by Harry Hems of Exeter; it cost £200. In the central part under a canopy is The Crucifixion with St. Mary and St. John with the other attendant figures set under lower straight cresting at each side. The background is gilded.
Pulpit
1840
The pulpit is part of the 1840 refurnishing in mahogany, and most unexpected it is to find the gothic style in this wood in an ecclesiastical setting, however much it may have been used in houses of the period. The pulpit is octagonal with small battlements round the top edge and blind tracery in each face; it stands on a stone base.
Lectern
1897
The lectern is a brass eagle.
Font (object)
The font is Perpendicular in date and is of Caen stone; until 1899 it was painted. Six panels round the bowl have foliage ornament and one has a shield, the eighth being uncarved to stand against a pillar. Underneath are six etops carved as heads and two plain against the trumpet-shaped stem.
Organ (object)
1874
The organ is a two-manual instrument by Henry Speechly of the Camden Organ Factory, King's Cross Road, St. Pancras.
