It contains treasures from the old church including the medieval east window and the old font probably 12th century. The beautiful stained glass windows are also well worth a look. The tower houses the original five bells which have been in situ since the church was built and are still in regular use today. The Revd Francis Kilvert was a regular visitor both to the church and to his dear friend Revd Henry Dew.
