Effigy

Below the east window of the south aisle is a stone effigy of the 14th, or possibly late 13th, century. Most of the detail of this is lost and it is not known whom it represents.

Floor Crosses

Medieval grave markers

In the floor of the south aisle, chancel and near the door are the heads of three 13th century floriated crosses. The crosses moline may relate to the Sampson family who held the Manor from 1100 to 1312 and have these as their arms.
