The 13th-century tower is of a very unusual style in that it is built on four piers at the entrance to the church.

The Oglander Chapel on the eastern end of the south aisle is the resting place of members of that family and includes two elaborately carved and painted wooden effigies of knights placed upon two of the tombs.

In the north aisle there are funerary hatchments of the Oglander family on the walls, and two fonts from the 13th and 15th centuries.
