Pulpit
In 1987 the original stone pulpit was moved and some pews removed allowing
better access to the altar.
Lectern
The oak lectern was presented by the congregation in memory of those who died
in the Great War.
 Font
The font is thought to be the original one, which was put in the Victorian
church. It is made of limestone and has four thick pillars as its base. A carved
oak cover has been added with the words on it ‘suffer the little children
to come unto me’.
Pews
The pews are Victorian. They are made of oak and have kneelers. They are rather
narrow indicating that there was a need for maximum seating in Victorian times.
There are numerous tapestry kneelers, which have been made by members of the
congregation. They add much colour to the church.
Candlestick
A light oak candlestick was given to commemorate the marriage of Anne and David
Hough in May 2003.
