It was originally the private chapel to Knowlton Court, and later a parish church.

The font, the box pews, the corona lucis, the two reading desks, and other fittings date from the 19th century.

Over the north door are the carved and painted royal arms of Charles II.

[1][2] The church also contains monuments to members of the families who lived in Knowlton Court, including the Peyton Baronets.

There is a memorial to Admiral Sir John Narborough who died in 1688, and to his sons John and James who, together with their stepfather Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, died in a shipwreck off the Scilly Islands in 1707.

It consists of a red brick wall with simple wrought iron gates.
