The interestingly carved font dates from the 15TH century. The carving on the choir stalls date back to the same period. The pulpit panels are Jacobean.

Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture Bianca del Mare or the Madonna and Child can be found in the church.

This sculpture she donated in memory of her son who was killed while serving in the armed forces.
