There are lots of interesting items in this church including a 14/15th century wall painting on the north wall which has faded.
The Kirton Family Memorial at the west end of the church erected in memory of Thomas Kirton is a fine piece of work it shows his wife Mary and their twelve children [ those in cradles represent the children who died in infancy] The family occupied the Former Manor House from 1554 - 1685.
