The doorway in this part of the Church dates from the 14th century. The oak corbels in the roof above your head are carved in the shape of angels. The shields in their hands once bore the arms of many of the local landowners.
The window at the west end of the north wall is dated about 1340, and it seems that it may have been pierced after the wall was constructed.
The other windows in the North Aisle are about two hundred years later.
Beside the pulpit, close to one of the tower pillars and partly obscured by it, is another Piscina dating from the thirteenth century. It would support the theory that alterations have been made to the shape of the church in the past.
High up in the centre of the north wall is a black board with gilded lettering which records Fuller’s Charity, one of several Parish Charities.
The inscription reads:
