The nave of St Michael, looking towards the chancel beyond the screen. The chancel arch was probably widened in the 13th century when the church was remodelled.

The responds on either side of the chancel arch retain Norman work, two shafts with scallop capitals and a band of palmette decoration.

There are no memorial plaques on the church's interior walls, but there are a few memorials in the floor of the chancel. One reads thus:

Here lieth the body of
William Sheppard, Gent
who departed this life
the 6th day of March A. Domini 1671

Another simpler memorial reads:

Gul Cumming MD
9 June 1746

There is also a brass memorial to William Fox and his wife, dated 1495.
