The interior is of most interest, with grey stone, yellow brick and red sandstone used to create bands of colour within the fabric of the building.

Light is used to great effect, with the nave dark in comparison to the polygonal chancel that is illuminated by the tall windows of the tower. The stained glass was commissioned from Franz Mayer & Co of Munich, while AB Wall of Cheltenham created the flamboyant altar.

Watch out for the deep floodlit well.
