Interior
Fixtures and fittings
Font (object)
1849
Erected in 1849 as a memorial, it consists of a bowl stem and base of quatrefoil section. The base has a water-holding moulding, the stem is ornamented with fillets and under the pronounced octofoiled lip of the bowl there is a line of ball-flower ornament. Each face of the bow is pierced with a quatrefoil and there is a quantity of applied foliage carving.
Reredos
1910
Executed in 1910 by Wipple and Co. of Exeter, together with the brass altar rails and the panels which flank the east window. The whole composition is very obtrusive and the reredos was designed to block the view of the glass in the east window. The reredos is of three sections and the east wall is further filled by the flanking panels which rise above two rather more sober panels with depressed ogee tops. The gabled tops are equipped with crocketted pinnacles, angels are perched on small pedestals over the riotously over decorated gables and the tops of the lights are crowded with sub cusping and further finials. The panels in the lights are of mosaic and opus sectile and depict the Ascension, St. Simeon, St. Anne and angels.

1908
Brass eagle.

Two-manual, possible rebuilt by Hele.
