hoods and labels. In the south aisle east wall is a single
lancet and in the south wall a plain rectangular light and a much
restored C14 3 light window with cusped ogee heads to the lights,
moulded surround and C19 hood. There is an entirely C19 cusped 2

gabled, with elaborate cusped bargeboard and the inner doorway

arches on the sides and a scalloped octagonal pedestal. The C17
pulpit has been almost totally reconstructed in C19. This is a
demi octagon with panelled sides and corniced top. In the panels
are 2 stylised perspective doorways with chequered pavements and
the central motif is an elaborate architectural frame with
tapering columns, double consoles supporting a dentillated frieze
with an open pediment. In the south aisle is a C17 chest with
panelled front and paterae to the upper rail.
