Font – near the north side of the tower arch. Early English in the form of a kettle-drum, perfectly plain with the exception of an incised line near its upper edge, and a right-angled projection which indicates that at one time it stood in a corner. It was 2 feet 4 inches in diameter, 2 feet high, and stood on a wide circular base 8 inches high.
Pulpit – carved oak – probably from the Victorian restoration.
Lectern – carved oak – probably from the Victorian restoration.
Reader's desk – carved oak – probably from the Victorian restoration.
Chest – plain wooden chest in the base of the tower.
Poor Box – adjacent to the south doorway, now used for donations, this is a section of a 15th century timber, stood on-end and partially hollowed-out to make a receptacle for coins. There is no indication as to where the timber came from.
