the nave		 Cast iron poppyheads Pulpit Pulpit

The enclosed (box) pews in the nave dating from 1841 are of pine and have cast iron ‘poppyhead’ finials. 

The pulpit matches the pews, which are raised on wooden platforms above the tiled floor.

The poor box is at the end of a pew adjacent to the door, which runs along the south wall.
