A bowl type piscina in the chancel that once protruded from the wall, possibly on a pedestal. The bowl is now broken, and one can clearly see the drain hole for the holy water.
There is what is described as an aumbrey at the east end of the south aisle. It may also once have served as a piscina in the past.
The church has 13th-century arcades, but it is mainly from the 14th century. It has a nave, north and south aisles, a south porch and a chancel. The tower was built about 1450
