Interior: ashlar; queen-post nave roof, arch-braced chancel roof. Six-bay round arcades on chamfered square piers without capitals; aisle arches spring from shafts on piers.

Oak panelling in chancel with inscription recording it as gift from Dalgliesh family in thanksgiving for victory in 1918. Bronze plaques record gift of chancel and Lady Chapel as memorials to Hoare family. Following the end of the First World War Mr and Mrs R.S Dalgliesh wanted to complete the church as a threefold memorial; a thanksgiving for victory and that none of their own family lost their lives in the war and also in commemoration to those who lost their lives – especially those of the Tyneside area. A bronze plaque records the nave and tower were given by Mr and Mrs R.S Dalgliesh and family as a memorial to all who fell in the Great War memorial. High quality glass throughout with military insignia.
