War Memorial

In 1925 the east window was dedicated to the memory of parishioners who died in the First World War.

Reredos and panelling

The eagle lectern is dedicated to Private J.W. Lenton who was killed in action in August 1915.

The reredos and panelling in the sanctuary were installed in 1949 as a memorial in memory of the 16 men of the parish who died in the Second World War. The designer was N M Lane, the Southwell diocesan surveyor, and they were made by S E Bevis, a Mansfield craftsman. It was unveiled on the 12 April 1949.

The inscription on the southern section of the panelling reads:
