1Altar and Reredos

The altar table has filled-in panels at the base. The centre panel is carved with "IHS". Other panels to either side are carved in arches design. There are plain panels at sides.

Behind is a reredos with similar carved panels and at centre coronet hood over a crucifix. Both are from one of the Victorian restorations.

Two rows of stalls to north and to south. Victorian, part of the 1897/8 restoration of the church, financed by J A Cottam.

3Recess

Piscina or aumbrey in south wall close to altar.

4Arched recess

Possibly a sedile but rather small for the purpose, with single seat.

5Doorway

Original masonry left when chancel was rebuilt in 1840s.

6Altar

At the south end of the aisle which is used as a small chapel, the altar is a small, modern wooden table. It is also used in the nave.

7Murals

On the north wall are three murals locally produced and showing the village. They commemorate the millenium year 2000.

8Lectern

Wooden eagle lectern on base supported by four lions, presumably Victorian.

9Pulpit

The present pulpit, again presumed to be Victorian, replaced the three-decker one reportedly removed during one of the nineteenth century restorations. On stone base and with stone steps (to original pulpit?), the pulpit has a small seat inside and carved wooden panels.

10Pews

Ten rows on either side of nave. New sittings were provided in the 1897/8 restoration by Mrs Holmes of The Elms, Retford. On the front pews the following plates are affixed, one on the north side and one on the south:

North side

South side

The White family were closely associated with the church for many years and provided several churchwardens over that time. Mrs Holmes was herself a member of the White family.

11Chest

Chest with 2 locks at the west end of the nave. Presumably Victorian.

12Two stones in west wall

Investigated in 2007 and believed to be fragments of a Saxon cross. Identified as being of local Nottinghamshire stone rather than the Lincolnshire limestone in the surrounding stonework. Much worn, the markings are scarcely visible to the naked eye.
