Internally the church was well furnished with an alabaster font and pulpit by Aumonier, a reredos by Nathaniel Hitch, an iron work screen by GR de Wilde, and stained glass by Clayton & Bell. Into this soaring space, comparatively new, space were introduced two mid 20th century masterpieces by the vicar’s son and successor the Revd Walter Hussey.
